Italy - Hospital ordered to pay $260,000 after removing man's single healthy testicle

[Looper]

A COURT has ordered a hospital in northern Italy to pay 180,000 euro ($262,716) to a man after surgeons removed a healthy testicle in error.
The plaintiff, who was 27 at the time of the operation in 2004, had a tumour in the left testicle but the healthy one was removed, the Arena di Verona newspaper reported.
The surgeons quickly realised their mistake and removed the left testicle as well, the report said.

I hope they at least throw in an operation to put in some false rubber ones so he can continue to enjoy the pleasure of having his balls tongued by his good lady and can proudly strut his stuff on the beach in a pair of budgiesmugglers. I wonder if it would still hurt to get kicked in the goolies then.

Indeed. In the U.S. the hospital would have been fined $10M, $7M would go to the lawyers, and $3M to the guy. Still better than what he got though.

If you have to have one removed then they can put in a placky replacement but the op is as bad as having the original removed.
When I had the port hand one removed they wrote in felt tip on my left leg "this one" with an arrow pointing at the rotten goolly.
I took the felt tip and wrote "not this one" on the other leg, just to be sure.
Apart from a lack of testosterone which effects my physical strength, ie. lift heavy objects, which I avoid anyway, there is no noticable difference in sexual performance. Still plenty of cock custard for Laosy to guzzle.
A man did actually have his penis removed instead of a bollock at a London hospital a few years ago. Wonder what his compensation was.
AND his wifes.

Yep, I know people that have gone in for knee replacements and such that have written "Not this leg!!!" on the non-injured limb to make sure that kind of an error doesn't occur- he should have written "Not this ball!!!" with an arrow pointing to it on his sack.

That might sound stupid, but if he'd done it he'd still have one good nut.

[the dogcatcher]

That's what I did.

[FailSafe]

That's what I did.

And a damned good idea it was.

He should grow a pair.

Maybe he could get a pair sewn on from a donor card carrying motorcycle accident fatality. Make sure to inspect the deceased for ginger hair before actually going ahead with any procreation though.
