Doctors at a US hospital have been accused of amputating a man's penis
during what was supposed to be a routine circumcision. Johnny Lee
Banks, of Birmingham, Alabama, and his wife sued the facility for
medical malpractice on Tuesday, seeking an unspecified amount. The
lawsuit says Banks came round from an operation to remove his foreskin
at Princeton Baptist Medical Center last month, only to find his
manhood had been removed. The claim says he has experienced intense
pain as a result, and that his wife, Zelda Banks, is also suffering.
The Birmingham hospital and two doctors are among defendants named in
the legal action. The hospital said in a statement to Sky News: "We
have reviewed the allegations … and find them to be non-meritorious.
We intend to defend all counts aggressively."
