LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - A central Kentucky man whose penis was removed during an operation is suing the doctor and medical practice that performed the surgery, saying he was only in the hospital for a circumcision.
Phillip Seaton, 61, and his wife, Deborah Seaton, sued Dr. John M. Patterson and Commonwealth Urology in Frankfort, accusing Patterson of removing the organ despite specific instructions to only perform a circumcision as part of a treatment plan for a medical condition.
The Seatons, of Waddy, also sued the anesthesiologist, Dr. Oliver James of Shelbyville, claiming he used a general anesthesia even though Seaton asked that it not be administered.
Kevin George, the attorney representing the Seatons, said his clients are "angry" over what happened.
A message left at Commonwealth Urology's corporate office in Lexington was not immediately returned Thursday. A message left for James was not immediately returned.
