Maybe so, if he had been as mad as this one: :offinhead:
Romanian Doctor Loses Temper During Surgery, So He Hacks Off And Minces Patient's Penis
"Lost his temper." (http://freedomfolks.blogspot.com/2007/01/they-do-things-different-over-there.html)
Grabbing a scalpel, he sliced off the penis in front of shocked nursing staff, and then placed it on the operating table where he chopped it into small pieces before storming out of the operating theatre at Bucharest hospital. I guess so.
Well, that's all very common. But then the story gets strange:
A Romanian court has now awarded Radonescu £20,000 costs – to pay for the operation to rebuild his ruined penis using tissue from his arm – as well as 100,000 pounds in damages. The medical costs will be paid by the hospital's insurer, but doctors' unions have criticised the decision that the money for the damages has to be paid by the doctor.
They say the move sets a dangerous precedent and that Professor Ciomu, a urologist and lecturer in anatomy, has already been punished enough after having his medical licence suspended.
Yes, we wouldn't want to create such a precedent. Then we'd be on a "slippery slope" of penalizing (or is that penilizing?) doctors for amputating and mutilating others' body parts in a snit.
