The Weird Romanian Doctor

Posted by carlyluvsunited on Wednesday 4 March 2009

BUCHAREST, Romania - A court has ordered a Romanian surgeon to pay $795,000 in compensation to a patient whose penis he accidentally severed during an operation.


In July 2004, Dr. Naum Ciomu made a surgical error while operating on the man's testicles, severing the penis instead of making an incision to the testicle.

The Bucharest Magistrates Court ruled Friday, 30 January 2009 that Ciomu had been "superficial" in his approach to the operation, ordered the fine and handed Ciomu a one-year suspended prison sentence. The ruling can be appealed.



A piece of muscle from the man's arm has now been attached to where his penis was, but its function is aesthetic.


"You don't have to be an expert to realize that the 33-year-old victim does not have a good state of mind," said Mihai Olariu, the victim's lawyer.



At least his wife wont have to use the "I've got a headache" routine.
