Depends **SkyBum** can you do more than just" poke poke jab jab…god damn that was great!"? 😃 Honestly, this is another reason I look at my family in horror when they get on their soapbox about medical treatment. Not to say I don’t believe in it … I just have reservations. Okay, okay I AM paranoid! ---

**Isabelle** not just in Florida, but Texas , too. But it is not a total cap…it’s a cap on non-economic damages such as mental anguis and pain and suffering…but in this guy’s case I think he’s showing that sometimes those caps are bullshit…he will have some econmic damage but not much…the loss of a penis is all tied up in the non-economic damage aspect of it… But he probably signed a consent form that allowed for removal of tissue if found necessary during the original surgery. ---

A western man living in Hong Kong was experiencing severe pain in his penis. He went to the local British doctor who said it would require amputation. Wanting a second opinion he went to the American doctor and received the same answer. After exhausting all western possibilities a friend suggested he try one of the local doctors who practiced Chinese medicine. After examining him, the little old Chinese man said: “Ahh, western doctors, always CUT, CUT, CUT. No need to cut!!!” The patient was obviously relieved and thanked the old man profusely. “What do I do then doctor?” he asked. “You wait two weeks and it fall off by itself. No need cut!” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-case-of-the-missing-penis/194845.md?page=1)
