Penis! Alright you guys have to read this, I first heard it on Bob & Tom this morning, and I had to go out and find the story so here ya go...

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.

Surgeon Naum Ciomu, who had been suffering from stress at the time, had been operating on patient Nelu Radonescu, 36, to correct a testicular malformation when he suddenly lost his temper.

Grabbing a scalpel, he sliced off the penis in front of shocked nursing staff, and then placed it on the operating table where he chopped it into small pieces before storming out of the operating theatre at Bucharest hospital.



A Romanian court has now awarded Radonescu £20,000 costs – to pay for the operation to rebuild his ruined penis using tissue from his arm – as well as 100,000 pounds in damages. The medical costs will be paid by the hospital's insurer, but doctors' unions have criticised the decision that the money for the damages has to be paid by the doctor.

They say the move sets a dangerous precedent and that Professor Ciomu, a urologist and lecturer in anatomy, has already been punished enough after having his medical licence suspended.

They said he had been under stress and had lost his temper after he accidentally cut the man's urinary channel and 'overreacted' to the situation. He told the court it was a temporary loss of judgement due to personal problems.

Vice-president of the Romanian Doctors Union, Vasile Astarastoae, said: 'Ciomu's case is a dangerous precedent for all Romanian doctors. In future doctors may have to think very carefully about what work they undertake.'

Because obviously, the last thing you want is a doctor thinking carefully about the work they're doing.

The director of the ophthalmology hospital in Bucharest, Dr Monica Pop (yes, actually her name), agreed saying that doctors would in future avoid any cases where they could end up in court having to pay damages.

She added: 'Doctors in Romanian earn too little to be able to pay amounts like this. As a result it will be entirely fair if they only accept cases where they cannot make mistakes. The only way this can be avoided is if the insurance companies cover all the risk.'

When I was in hospital for my prostate operation, there was a 40 year old who had no penis, as he had had radical surgery for cancer, they had to remove it as the cancer had spread so much, there was no chance of reconstruction so he'll have to pass water through a tube in his groin to a bag that will have to be emptied 3 or 4 times a day, for the rest of his life, & I was moaning that I had a catheter in for 7 months waiting for the op, it humbled me, he used to be an athlete, now he has to put up with a litre bag of pee strapped to hs leg sloshing about as I had to, my first words when I came round from the op was to ask if it was cancer, & was told it might be, but the lab results wouldn't be back for a while yet, I got them ten days later at home, no cancer thank god, I had sleepless nights until that letter dropped on the mat, but I haven't forgotten that poor guy.

Yeah, that type of tubing is not an easy thing to handle. My grandfather has one. If he didn't, he would get constant urinal infections.

Poor guy!
