Crazed Surgeon Amputates Penis

[MaryH]

A Romanian surgeon underwent a fit of madness while operating on a patient's testicles and instead cut off the man's penis and sliced it into three pieces, hospital officials said.

The surgeon, Naum Ciomu, was described as a senior member of the hospital staff and a professor of anatomy.

He had been operating on a 34-year-old man for a testicular malformation when he committed the act, the officials said.

"We are shocked by what has happened. It is the first time wh have had such a case," said Sorin Oprescu, head of the Bucharest emergency hospital where the patient was rushed for emergency reconstructive surgery.

The operations have been entrusted to a highly respected Romanian plastic surgeion. Ioan Lascar, who said he would try to restore the man's urinary function by that he was unlikely to recover normal sexual activity.

3. The juxtaposition of the news, your comment, and your

sig line is just too much.
I feel bad for the guy but this combination was weird.

on edit: changed heading so people don't think that I am pro-mutilation....

5. Wow. A Human Being Mutilated. How Funny. n/t

8. That is not the point. Is the way the post I was replying to sounded.

Read it to see where I was coming from. Mutilation is never funny. And since it was not my intention to laugh about the mutilation, I will change my post.

7. Glad to have made your day.

I never know quite how to react to stuff like this. Its really funny in an odd sort of way.

But - you, know - wouldn't be too funny if it happened to you.

I can't help but wonder how many times that surgeon had wanted to do that before he "lost his grip."

9. Hmmm.

I never know quite how to react to stuff like this. Its really funny in an odd sort of way.

I'll keep that in mind the next time someone starts a thread about what a laff-riot female circumcision is.

4. A male friend of mine said that he terminated a relationship when

his girlfriend was reading the paper about the Bobbit case and she went "right on!" I think he was wise.

Well, thanks.

I wonder if this could all just be a big joke. It doesn't sound very real. Kind of like the October surprise being the Russians send 40,000 troops to Iraq.

Some days the world is just way too wierd for me.
