By David FergusonSaturday, February 23, 2013 12:15 EST An unnamed cancer patient is suing the Salisbury District Hospital in the U.K. after an operation led to the amputation of his healthier testicle. In line with the Salisbury Journal, the 48-year-old man is taking action from the hospital and the Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust on the lands that the problem has left him infertile. According to Metro U.K., health practitioners realized their error about 40 minutes into the process. While a plastic surgeon was rushed directly into make an effort to reattach the wood they instantly froze the healthy testicle. The effort was unsuccessful and when the individual was awakened, he was informed of the mistake. Phil Matthews, a spokesman for the Wiltshire Involvement Network, a nearby individual advocacy community, said, aThis is just a awful thing to have occurred. With this type of procedure men need confidence their trust can be put by them completely in the hospital.a Huffington Post said that, while awful, these types of medical mistakes aren't unheard of. In 2007, a Air Force veteran sued the West La Veteransa Administration hospital for removing his right testicle as opposed to his atrophied, possibly malignant remaining one. Specialists at the West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St. Edmunds, England made an identical mistake this season with an individual who had been undergoing treatment for chronic disease of the epididymis, a pipe that transports sperm from the testicles. Health practitioners got the wrong tube, which, once the infected tube was removed, left him infertile. [image via Shutterstock]
