Hospital ordered to pay $260,000 after removing man's single healthy testicle

A COURT has ordered a hospital in northern Italy to pay 180,000 euro ($262,716) to a man after surgeons removed a healthy testicle in error.

The plaintiff, who was 27 at the time of the operation in 2004, had a tumour in the left testicle but the healthy one was removed, the Arena di Verona newspaper reported.

The surgeons quickly realised their mistake and removed the left testicle as well, the report said.

Comment: Oh my god, I bet the guy will be so so sad over his lost. The surgeons should be alert at all times while carrying out surgery as wrong moves done are reversible. Like how can they replace another testicle for him?? Moral of the story: We should always be alert and serious while doing our work. Lets not let our carelessness affect others. =)
