A 72-year-old in the US is receiving a record amount of money because doctors took away his potential. They had persuaded him to undergo unnecessary injections that permanently disfigured his penis.
The 72-year-old from the US will never forget what was done to him in a clinic in 2017. Now he has received justice. Jurors awarded him the record amount of 390 million euros. The reason: Doctors at NuMale Medical Center in Albuquerque had persuaded him to undergo unnecessary injections that permanently disfigured his penis.
Instead of treating him for fatigue and obesity, the clinic recommended expensive injections for alleged erection problems.
Pain and scars
The result: pain, scars and impotence. And even though the man probably no longer wants a child at the age of 72, the jury still regarded the clinic’s actions as ‘fraudulent treatment methods’, which mainly abused older men. For the plaintiff the verdict is a belated satisfaction, for the jury it is an example – and with all seriousness.
“The verdict shows that clinics cannot ignore the damage to the lives of their victims with impunity,” said attorney Lori Bencoe. The man had already filed the lawsuit in 2020. He had visited the hospital due to fatigue and weight loss and accused the staff of misdiagnosing him. He was told that he would suffer harm if he did not receive an injection three times a week.
Company wants to appeal
NuMale chairman Brad Palubicki announced that the company would appeal. We are always committed to providing high-quality and safe care for patients. The operator has several clinics in the US.
