my pathologist husband was speechless that any doc would remove a penis without a proof positive slide showing the cancer and he would get another pathologist to confirm. Horrible horrible case.

What ever happened to patient consent forms? Shouldn't this guy have signed SOMETHING before any kind surgery?

You gotta wonder. But those consent forms are so long and such small type, most people don't read them.They all say "this surgery might kill you",,they usually don't mention losing ones penis however but that should have been explained to him.

What would happen to this guy if there would have been no insurance at all? This is no chimera--I can point you to a new trend emerging in "going bare."

Its kind of annoying having to deal with constantly defending attachments, garnishments and asset exams - and eventually, the location of those assets slips loose.

Or spending them down.

You'd take the case with no insurance, and uncertain assets and a not unintelligent defendant highly motivated to thwart you? Do you take a lot of these kinds of cases?

I would have gotten a second or even third opinion before having this surgery.
