Man sues doctor over loss of penis

A Florida man is suing his doctor after the penile implant surgery he received caused his penis to rot away and fall off.

62 year old Enrique Milla consulted a urologist about his erectile dysfunction, and was offered penile implant surgery despite being diabetic. Following the surgery Milla developed gangrene of the penis and the infected rotten organ had to be chopped off by medics.

Milla’s attorney told Newsradio610 WIOD that his client should never have been offered the treatment due to his increased risk of infection caused by his diabetes.

“The problem is that Mr. Milla has uncontrolled diabetes and it is absolutely, 100 percent, contraindicated – which means it should not be done on anyone with uncontrolled diabetes because diabetics have a rate of infection (higher than) people who don’t have diabetes,” he said.

He then went on to spell out exactly how bad Milla’s predicament is.

“The man will live the rest of his life without his penis. When he has to urinate, he has to sit down and urinate like a woman. He can’t go to the beach. He can’t make love to his wife. He has not worked since the procedure. He’s basically living his life in complete seclusion,”

Milla is suing for pain, suffering and unspecified damages, and his wife is also suing the doctor.
