"Alabama man claims penis was amputated by mistake"

"An Alabama man who went in to a hospital last month for a circumcision awoke after surgery to find his penis had been amputated, his lawyer said on Thursday."

"Johnny Lee Banks Jr., 56, said in a lawsuit filed in state court earlier this week that no one at the Princeton Baptist Medical Center in Birmingham, Alabama, had told him why it had been necessary to remove his penis." (no video at the link)

It appears his gurney was mistakenly placed in the penis amputation line.

It's the new gubmint random gender reassignment generator.

His reaction just proves he's a hater.

It is actually a Church owned hospital.

"It is actually a Church owned hospital."

Lighten up, Francis.

Wait a minute. From the article --

Banks, who is married and does not work due to a disability, did not recall the precise date of the incident but believed it occurred in June, his attorney said.

Now, don't you think that having your penis amputated would be A DAY that you would remember?

Backtracking through liquor store receipts could establish the exact date of the incident.

Pictures or it didn't happen!

Oh, wait. Forget it, Jake, it's Alabama.

This is why proper pronunciation and good elocution are important skills to have. The annoying habit of dropping the final syllable of spoken words resulted in "I want a brisket" becoming "I want a bris".

Now the poor guy's friends are scrambling to find baseball game tickets because he said "I want a tourney".

Hee is going to need a shrink for the rest of his life.

KCFleming said...

He already has a shrink.

Oh, you meant...

Never mind.

I ain't believing this.

The guy did something stupid & accidentally amputated his penis, and he wants to blame it on the hospital to cash in on a suit against them.

He doesn't "remember the exact date"? I'm sure I speak for every man on the planet when I say that the date of my penis amputation would be "A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY".

As Haz mentioned, why get a circumcision at 56? The only reason I know of that the penis is purposely amputated is penile cancer, but that would be a defensible medical reason the hospital would stand behind.

I think we're talking grifter here.

His mother is safe now?

Well, if it was a mistake, what's the problem?

This falls under the legal theory known as "Oopsey Daisy".

Y tu mama, tambien.

It stand up in court.

I would seriously hope I wouldn't remember.

The Dude said...

Maybe it just wasn't that big a deal.

Well, I guess we all know one man who won't forget to leave the toilet seat down.
