A 92-year-old California man is suing his health care provider after he claims his penis completely split in half and eroded as a result of neglect.
Rupert Collins filed a lawsuit against Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc. for elder abuse, negligence and unfair business practice stating a septic catheter caused the problem.
He alleges that despite repeated requests to remove the catheter over a period of almost two weeks, his penis became cut and swollen to the point it could not be saved.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...rance-company-ignoring-infected-catheter.htmlAnother nurse sent another fax to Kaiser on July 30 asking to remove the catheter, but this was again denied, claims the lawsuit.
Then, the next day, Collins' daughter looked at her father's penis herself.
'When Diana examined Rupert's penis, she was horrified at what she saw. Rupert's penis was split completely in half from the tip of his penis all the way down to the scrotum sac,' the complaint states.
She got a third nurse to contact Kaiser, but they allegedly said, 'The penis erosion is normal and will heal on its own.'
However, she pushed for a urologist to see her father who stated, 'that if Rupert had been treated earlier, the penis could have been saved but that the penile erosion was now complete, Rupert's penis would never heal and that reconstructive surgery was not a viable option,' the complaint states.
'Rupert's penis and urethra is permanently eroded away and Rupert has suffered permanent genital mutilation,' it continues.'
I hope this poor man gets a ton of money for this , and his daughter too for having to look at his damages .
