Phillip Seaton, 61, and his wife, Deborah Seaton, are seeking unspecified compensation from Dr. John M. Patterson and the medical practice that removed his Mr. Seaton's penis without consent during what was planned as a circumsion.
Mr. Seaton is suing for “loss of service, love and affection.” The Seatons also are seeking unspecified punitive damages from Patterson and the medical practice, Commonwealth Urology.
The Seaton’s attorney, Kevin George, who specializes in penile malpractice, said the doctor’s post-surgical notes show the doctor thought he detected cancer and removed the penis.
“It was not an emergency,” said George. “It didn’t have to happen that way. Clearly, a man's penis can be handled in many ways, but this was extreme.”
The lawsuit filed earlier this month in state court claims Patterson removed Seaton’s penis without consulting either Phillip or Deborah Seaton, or giving them an opportunity to seek a second opinion. Dr. Patterson refutes this, saying, "In addition to detecting cancer, I opined to Mrs. Seaton that the penis size was such that it rendered the penis non-functional."
The couple also sued the anesthesiologist, Dr. Oliver James of Shelbyville, claiming he used a general anesthesia even though Seaton asked that it not be administered. Dr James was unable to respond.
