A lawsuit accuses a Frankfort, Kentucky doctor of amputating a man's penis without his consent. A malpractice suit was filed against Doctor John Patterson, who performed the surgery.
Phillip and Deborah Seaton say Phillip went to Patterson last October for a circumcision, which resulted in the doctor removing Phillip's penis. The lawsuit states that, "Despite having no consent to remove his penis and despite being advised by Phillip that he did not want him to remove any part of his penis other than the foreskin, Doctor Patterson removed the penis."
The suit says that Seaton has suffered and will suffer much mental anguish and pain, as well as a loss of enjoyment of life, and that he will incur medical expenses because of the injury.
