the patient lost out on a chance to consult with doctors who might have been able to do some reconstruction planning while knowing about the cancer.

How would one find cancer while just removing the foreskin?  Sounds like an excuse to me for a doc's slip.

"Before someone amputates your penis, you want to be real sure it's necessary,"

Now what is so hard to understand about that?!! *smirk*

The lawsuit seeks punitive damages and a jury trial.

I'm sure it does. And whatcha bet me it also seeks a jury full of men. Cantcha just see them squirming during the testimony!! 5 minutes in the jury room and a unanimous decision for the plaintiff.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't be giggling, but I can't help myself.

This guy is going to have to go on HRT I would believe, and if there is a chance of reconstructive surgery it would have to be grafted from somewhere else.

So if he want to be a guy ( in all ways ) --- he has to do an FTM surgery.
