Man: Docs Took My Good Testicle
A Utah man says that doctors at St. Mark's Hospital in Millcreek removed the wrong testicle during a procedure in June 2003, according to The Salt Lake Tribune.
Johnny Gibson had been experiencing persistent pain in his left testicle and filed a lawsuit against the surgical team in 3rd District Court this week claiming they took the wrong one.
George Waddoups, Gibson's lawyer in the suit, says Gibson asked the surgical team to mark the left testicle before surgery to prevent exactly that from occurring.
"He asked people on the team to mark him, and they told him they didn't need to do that," Waddoups told the Tribune. "This has caused a lot of embarrassment, and he's had other complications that have developed. He still has pain."
that is SO wrong
