I’m a GIRL and I’m feeling sympathy pains!
Paying damages when a doctor maims somebody on purpose is’t a bad precident. How does it cause doctors to refrain from undertaking dangerous surgeries, when any surgery can end in the same way, if the doctor goes bonkers and slices you up because he’s miffed.
I just read this about a British dentist that started pulling a ladies teeth without anestesia because he was pissed off.
Article.
Stronger? Whattya want to be doing, towing a boat with it? :eek:
The OP clearly indicates that it’s cutting off someone* else’s* penis that reduces anger.
Hell I never ever talked to my sis about her labia…or her boobs come to that
There’s not enough lawyers in the world. Really. I get my naughty bits whacked off ([Beavis] Heh, heh, heh. [/Beavis]) during surgery, once I get my settlement (and I’m going to be calling the ambulance chaser with the biggest ad in the phone book), and I’ve had my bionic penis installed, I’m going to proceed to “explain” things to the “hatchet man” as slowly and as painfully as humanly possible. There’s not a jury in the world that would convict me.
(So, do you think that “doctor” Ciomu studied medicine under Lorena Bobbitt?)
What she said. I cannot imagine what made the doc think that slicing and dicing a patient’s equipment would be a GOOD idea.
I wonder if I should mention this story to my husband. He goes in for hemmorhoid surgery the week after next. He’s paranoid ENOUGH about getting cut on.
I have never discussed my labia, inner or outer, with my brother or my brother-in-laws. Somehow, I have never felt the urge to discuss my girly bits with those guys.
Reminds me of a section of the Code of Hammurabi…
I’m pretty sure “cutting off a patient’s crank” qualifies under the hand-chopping punishment, but that might be for the courts to decide, of course.
Would you go to someone who didn’t specialize in it? :eek:
Take a scene from Saw: Place the doctor in a room with a time bomb, located just out of reach. It should have a large visible timer. Nail his dick to the wall and hand him a knife, then start the timer.
And now, it’s for “The Second Coming”. That’s gonna be pretty hard on the patient.
:eek:
Isn’t there some kind of EU “don’t be a dick” legislation that covers this? Like, you know, if peoples’ lives are going to be in your hands, come to work well-rested and in a good mood?
Actually, I’d strap him down to a table and begin cutting hunks of flesh off, while avoiding things like major blood vessels and organs.
Then there’s what my uncle said happened in WWII to a Nazi sympathizer: He had his nutsack nailed to the floor of a house, was handed a knife, and then the house was set on fire. Were I in that situation, I think I’d just slit my wrists.
Here in Thailand, penis-reattachment surgery is a – pardon the expression – cutting-edge technology. There’s a huge problem with ladies slicing off their wayward men’s best friend. Makes me shudder every time I think of it.
One lady tied it to a balloon and let it float away. another fed it to the ducks out in the yard. Another popped it into the blender. A bad business all around. 
Damages? It was deliberate, he should go to prison for years. Are they not prosecuting him?
Wonder why they don’t mention that in the brochures?
Well, that’s the dog that isn’t barking.
I can’t find any reference to a possible prosecution, but then the reporting of this entire incident is totally bizarre. Half the story tells us what happened and the other half concentrates upon possible repercussions affecting Romanian surgeons in general.
It’s like somebody died but no-one mentions the body.
I agree completely. If the doctor had attacked some guy on the street with the intent of chopping off the victim’s penis, wouldn’t he have been charged with assault? How does the victim being a patient make this any less criminal? If anything, shouldn’t it be more criminal? This isn’t medical malpractice; this is a doctor screwing up, and responding by intentionally making the situation far worse for the patient than his mistake made it.
Maybe just a car… (possibly not safe for work)
I take it that one unmentioned subtext in the whole report is to make a point about how the healthcare situation in Romania is so precarious that even criminally irresponsible or incompetent practitioners can essentially hold the society hostage to *“sure, we provide crap healthcare; but unless we can be above the law, we’ll provide you NO healthcare!” *
