Urologist slices perfectly ok penis

Should have worked in a sushi bar. Newsoftheweirdfilter : before entering an hospital in order to have corrective surgery on your testicles, make sure your surgeon of choice isn't 1. slightly insane 2. short tempered 3.holding a scalpel (probably SFW, but may elicit a perpetual lack of trust in doctors).
It slices, it dices, it makes julienne fries.

The court also ordered the hospital to pay $NZ56,858 costs to the man to pay for the operation to rebuild his penis using tissue from his arm.

Afterwards, Ciomu claimed he had been under stress and lost his temper after he accidentally cut the man's urinary channel and 'overreacted'.

In general, I'm opposed to the death penalty, but this doc ought to be hanged.

Is $NZ56,858 the same as NZD = New Zealand Dollars? If so, seems to be equal to $39,532.77 USD. Doesn't seem like much. Might have to compensate with income from the upcoming movies he'll be making (not to be released on Blu-ray!)

And a little more. I was trying to find out what set the doc off - apparently he made a mistake in the surgery, and then took out his frustrations on what was formerly an animate object.

Doctors' unions in Romania have criticised a decision to make a surgeon pay £100,000 in damages after he lost his temper and hacked off a patient's penis during surgery.
They should criticize that decision. £100,000 is hardly high enough.

"If I get pissed off at my husband is it okay for me to cut his penis off cause I'm upset ???? NO and it is never okay for a Dr. [some one you trust] to do it either !!!!!!!!! This makes me sick I dont care how little they make people are entrusting them with there lifes and penises"

The worst part is, that its being appealed. You would think the doctor would be like "yeah, okay, I cut off a man's penis in a fit of rage, I probably deserve this."

How fun! (from the police seeking owner of penis article:)
The penis, which was not attached to anybody, was found on the ground...
The alternative being "penis found on the ground.... well ok, there was a man attached to it"? (I suppose that would effectively reduce men to their most important organ.)

Every time I hear a story about dick severance (probably not a cool porn name. A good WWE name and shtick, perhaps?) I think of a James Lee Burke novel where there was a midget hitman with no dick. He had some sort of tube or something. I don't remember the name of the book. I don't really want to Google it anymore, because after my initial search I got hit with a blinding flash of, "I'm probably the only person who's ever entered, " 'james lee burke' and 'midget no dick' " into Google.
God. At least I hope so.

To the shock of the nursing staff, he then placed the penis on the operating table and proceeded to chop it into small pieces before storming out of the theatre

Ah, yet another Romanian thread. It must be just me.
I called the wife into the room as I do with every Romanian thread and before I had half of the article's headline read aloud, she interrupted with "Oh, yeah. That's Dr. Ciomu. This happened back in 2004. He's famous in Romania. Everyone makes jokes about him. Every comedian has a Ciomu joke."
Much like John Wayne Bobbit, when a dick gets cut off, everyone makes jokes.

There are only a few cases where "eye for an eye" justice is appropriate, but this is definitely one of them.
How professionally cold and distant would you have to be to think cutting off somebody's penis was an appropriate way of dealing with stress? This guy should never practice again.

The fact that stuff like this happens even once a generation is why tort reform in America is unlikely.
In the US the compensation would have been in the 10's of millions, at least, and would involve everyone from the doctor back to his high school guidance counselor who first suggested medical school. I'm not saying that's right, but that's what would have happened. Certainly the doctor, hospital, nurses present, and chief of surgery would all be implicated.
Also, I think the victim should execute the doctor in the town square, and dare any judge or jury to convict him.
That the doctor would ever be allowed to practice again, even after 30 years, much less 3, shows how shamefully backwards the Romanian medical establishment is.

I'm just quite surprised that the doctor hasn't been lynched by a mob of angry men yet. I know I would definitely pick up a pitchfork (or a pair of pinking shears, heh) for the cause.

In the first example I could find, compensation may have been under or around $5M, but this and similar cases are used to point out certain flaws in tort reform (if you limit awards for pain and suffering or punitive damages, what happens to patients or surgeons like this? It's not like the patient's got much economic loss). I can't find anything to indicate either doctor went to jail, either.

What amazes me is not that the doctor got away with just punitive damages of $161,945 but that the "material compensations" were only $3,444. I suspect most men would demand more money if you proposed cutting off their penis. Which leads to the question: how much would it take to have your dick chopped off permanently? Hmmm.

It would take whatever it would cost to manufacture a Puppeteer "tasp" ala the Larry Niven novels... or a device of equal power that could simulate an endless orgasm.
