Guy in Romania suing because an improper catheter application caused infection that cost him his entire penis. What's really outrageous is the attitude of the guy at the end of the article commenting on whether losing a penis would be "devastating": But Professor Nicolae Calomfirescu, head of Romania's Sexual Medicine Association said: 'I'm not sure he will win by saying he is devastated and has to go to the toilet like a woman. 'It depends on the patient's image of himself. If you cut my right hand with me being a surgeon, I will be devastated. If you cut the left hand of a violinist, he will be devastated,' he said. 'But should he be devastated by the loss of his penis? I would say the man needs to be evaluated by a psychologist,' he added.

How does this doctor know that the victim couldn't play his penis like a violin!?

Former soldier sues Romanian hospital after he went in to have a kidney operation - but ended up having his penis chopped off

A former soldier is suing a hospital in Romania after he went to have a kidney operation and ended up having his penis amputated.

Costica Maroleanu, 55, had gone to the County Hospital in the town of Buzau in eastern Romania suffering from kidney failure.

Although the operation, carried out by surgeon Dr Iurie Ciochina, was successful, a nurse subsequently fitted his catheter incorrectly, causing Mr Maroleanu's genitalia to become severely infected and leaving doctors with no option but to remove the penis in order to save his life.

Speaking of the botched catheter fitting, Mr Maroleanu said: 'After the operation they told me there were some complications. Apparently the nurse had not properly fitted a small plastic pipe to help me urinate, and my penis became red and infected.

'I was moved to intensive care and four days later was moved to the nephrology department where they took a sample, but then they just left me there for 10 days. Eventually they did an operation, but then doctor went on holiday.'

Shortly afterwards Mr Maroleanu was transferred to the Bucharest Military Hospital.

There he underwent a series of examinations with doctors concluding that the only thing they could do was to amputate the infected penis, otherwise there was a strong possibility he would die.

A spokesman for the hospital said: 'The foreskin was stripped away completely and most of the cells in the organ were dead.

'The member was black and the only remaining skin was at the base of the shaft and highly infectious. It was recommended to remove the necrotic elements, meaning amputation.'

Speaking of this shock after the operation, Mr Maroleanu said: 'It was totally cut off. Now I urinate through an orifice that doctors made between my anus and my testicles.

'I urinate just like a woman. I'm devastated.'

Now the former soldier is demanding £362,450 compensation from the original hospital for malpractice.

He said: 'If they hadn't botched things up at the beginning this wouldn't have happened.'

But Professor Nicolae Calomfirescu, head of Romania's Sexual Medicine Association said: 'I'm not sure he will win by saying he is devastated and has to go to the toilet like a woman.

My cock is worth a damn sight more than that. cut mine off, and be prepared to pay. I don't want mine off.

Apparently mine is worth -$10,000 then. Because that's how much I'm going to be paying to have another person take it off for me. :p

Don't insurance companies pay pre determined amounts for severed body parts? Like so much for a finger, so much for a hand, etc. I wonder if they have a pre determined for a penis. Maybe they pay by the inch with a set amount for every inch up to 6. Anything over 6 moves it in to premium status and the value goes up on a sliding scale modeled after the income tax. Certain income brackets pay more. Really large penises are worth more. Then I wonder if thickness gets involved. Is there a table they use based on a combination of say, length X girth = ? The higher the number, the higher the pay out. Yeah, that would work.:lightbulb

Don't forget also the art value, if it had any tattoos

With strong dollar, that is not at all true. They're not too far from parity right now.

[minuteman (imported)]

£350k is about $520k.

Nowhere near $700k. Nowhere near parity either...
