An Alabama man is suing a hospital for mistakenly amputating his penis. In what was scheduled to be a simple circumcision appointment, turned out to be a horrific mistake.
Johnny Lee Banks Jr. of Birmingham and wife, Zelda Banks, filed the lawsuit on Tuesday against two doctors, a medical clinic, a urology group and the hospital for medical malpractice.
The lawsuit says Banks went to Princeton Baptist Medical Center in Birmingham last month for a circumcision. The suit alleges when he awoke, his penis was gone. Banks is suing for extreme pain and suffering.
In a surprising reply, the hospital is claiming his lawsuit lacks merit. It sounds like a black and white case, right? Either they did, or didn’t make the mistake. Nevertheless, Banks is suing for an unspecified dollar amount.
The defendants in the case would not comment when contacted.
