That truly sucks. Dude just lost both his nuts.
VA patient has wrong testicle removed
* My coworker sent me this article...doesnt this suck? :wall:
LOS ANGELES - An Air Force veteran has filed a federal claim after an operation at a Veterans Administration hospital in which a healthy testicle was removed instead of a potentially cancerous one.
Benjamin Houghton, 47, was to have had his left testicle removed June 14 at the West Los Angeles VA Medical Center because there was a chance it could harbor cancer cells. It also was atrophied and painful.
But doctors mistakenly removed the right testicle, according to medical records and the claim, which seeks $200,000 for future care and unspecified damages. He still hasn't had the other testicle removed.
"At first I thought it was a joke," Houghton told the Los Angeles Times. "Then I was shocked. I told them, 'What do I do now?'"
Houghton, his wife, Monica, and their attorney, Dr. Susan Friery, said they hoped to get the VA's attention by going public with the situation.
Dr. Dean Norman, chief of staff for the Greater Los Angeles VA system, has formally apologized to Houghton and his wife.
"We are making every attempt that we can to care for Mr. Houghton, but it's in litigation, and that's all we can tell you," he said. The hospital changed practices as a result of the case, he added.

He's probably already shooting blanks cuz only 200k? Shit I'd be suing for a lot more.
I don't think formally apologizing will help grow his nuts back.SagaSupra said:Dr. Dean Norman, chief of staff for the Greater Los Angeles VA system, has formally apologized to Houghton and his wife.
Wait, why is his wife complaining? He won't be cumming in her mouth anymore :rofl:
i hope you know that the cum isnt stored in your testicles right? id sue for more because if he has to take the other testicle out too, its going to f uck with his testosterone levels and other hormones. he would have to take hormone shots as a regular thing to stay normal. and ofcourse not to forget the obvious that he cant have any children anymore.
Sperm is created in your balls dude.Vasir said:i hope you know that the cum isnt stored in your testicles right? id sue for more because if he has to take the other testicle out too, its going to f uck with his testosterone levels and other hormones. he would have to take hormone shots as a regular thing to stay normal. and ofcourse not to forget the obvious that he cant have any children anymore.
right, sperm is. but you think if you squeeze your balls, its just filled with cum? theres more to cum than just sperm... why do you think guy 'shoot blanks?' the sperm in ther testicles arent being created, or are deformed, but the rest of the 'fluid' is created, and thats not in your ballsack
Lemme go test your theory :wackit:Vasir said:right, sperm is. but you think if you squeeze your balls, its just filled with cum? theres more to cum than just sperm... why do you think guy 'shoot blanks?' the sperm in ther testicles arent being created, or are deformed, but the rest of the 'fluid' is created, and thats not in your ballsack
Thats Fu-ked Up. Id tell that doctor to take that formal apology and stick it right back in his ass. Because thats where it came from.
"Still under litigation", what a :loser:
I would :hammer: his face in, if that happened to me.
