Bucharest - A Romanian surgeon who underwent a fit of madness while operating on a man's testicles proceeded to amputate his penis and cut it into three pieces, hospital officials said on Friday.
| Their first clue something was wrong was when he asked the nurse for the Ginzu knife. |
The surgeon, Naum Ciomu, was said to be 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.
| Sooooo, this was a case of nut on nut violence |
"We are shocked by what has happened. It is the first time we have had such a case," said Sorin Oprescu, head of the Bucharest emergency hospital where the operation took place.
Doctor Ciomu had been banned from entering an operating theatre for two months pending the results of an investigation by the medical council, Oprescu said.
| Keeping him a couple of kilometers away from your front door would be a better idea. |
Meanwhile, the wife of the unfortunate patient said she was suing Dr Ciomu.
| I think she's got a case. |
