Man Awarded $6.5 Million After Penis Gets Amputated
CLEVELAND, 10:28 a.m. EST December 4, 2001 - An Ohio man was recently awarded a $6.5 million settlement after he had his penis amputated because doctors failed to diagnosis his cancer, Ohio Lawyers Weekly reported.
According to the weekly legal newspaper, the multi-million dollar settlement was so large because the man's doctor eventually discovered the misdiagnosis error, but instead of informing the patient about his mistake, the unnamed doctor first contacted the hospital's legal department about the matter.
The patient was eventually told two years after the mistake was discovered.
The man first saw a doctor in 1984 because he was suffering from painful erections and a curvature of the penis. While a biopsy was done on a growth on his penis, a diagnosis of Peyronie's disease, which is not life-threatening, was made.
According to Ohio Lawyers Weekly, the confidential settlement against the unnamed Ohio hospital is one of the largest medical malpractice settlements in Ohio this year.
More details of the case can be found in this week's edition of Ohio Lawyers Weekly and through the paper's Web site, Ohio Lawyers Weekly
