Canadian Man Sues Hospital After Surgery Shortens His Penis

A Canadian man is suing a Montreal-area hospital for negligence after he said surgery on his penis ended up shortening it and preventing him from having sex, thus ruining his marriage.

“This has caused a greater impact on my life than when I lost the use of my legs,” the paraplegic plaintiff told QMI Agency after requesting his name not be used.

The lawsuit filed last week in Montreal claims he injured his penis while having sex with his wife in July 2011.

After being rushed to hospital, the suit says a nurse “made a brief visual inspection of the penis without touching it.”

An off-site urologist called the hospital and diagnosed “minor trauma” to the penis. He was sent home without being physically examined, the suit says.

The man says he was unable to have sex in the weeks that followed. Three months later he got the bad news: he had suffered a fractured penis.

The injury required an operation that left a “permanent scar” on his reproductive organ.

What’s more, the lawsuit says, the man’s penis lost “about an inch” of length. He also alleges he was unable to have sex for two years and his wife walked out on him.

He’s suing the hospital for negligence and “indescribable anguish.”

The allegations in the lawsuit haven’t been proven in court.

In December 2013, the Telegraph reported that more than 150 patients in Britain’s National Health Service had suffered from botched procedures over a six-month period, according to official statistics.

In 37 of those cases, patients underwent surgery on the wrong part of the body, including a woman who had her fallopian tube removed instead of her appendix.
