Medical malpractice case filed against KY doctor
Phillip Seaton, 61, scheduled a circumcision to treat inflammation. However, when he awoke from the procedure, Seaton discovered that his physician, Dr. John M. Patterson, had, without consent, removed his penis.
The doctor's post surgical notes indicate that the doctor thought he detected cancer. Later tests revealed that Mr. Seaton did not, in fact, have cancer.
Philip Seaton and his wife have filed a medical malpractice case seeking compensation for "loss of service, love and affection." The amount of compensation they are seeking was unspecified.
Their attorney, Kevin George said, "It was not an emergency. It didn't have to happen that way.
