Man Gets $870,000 After Doctor Removes Wrong Testicle by OduduaDefender(op): 8:04pm On Jun 20, 2017
A Pennsylvania jury has awarded a man $870,000 after his doctor removed
the wrong testicle during a botched 2013 surgery.
Steven Hanes, 54, had suffered from chronic pain in his right testicle for
years, Fox 43 reported. He sought treatment from Dr. V. Spencer Long, who
recommended surgical removal after an ultrasound revealed scarring from a
previous injury. However, at some point during the procedure Long removed
the wrong testicle.
“At this point it appeared that the left testicle and cord may actually have
been removed instead of the right one,” Long wrote in the postoperative
report, according to the Hamilton Spectator.
A jury later found that Long was “recklessly indifferent” in the treatment of
his patient and awarded Hanes $620,000 in compensatory and $250,000 in
punitive damages, Fox 43 reported.

HELL NO, a man at 54 isn't old down there if you know what I mean. Give that man a nikita fighting kitten and you'll sure have a fountain. #winks
