A cancer patient who lost almost all of his penis after catching a flesh-eating superbug after routine surgery has been granted a six-figure compensation payout. Andrew Lane, 63, was recovering from an NHS operation to remove his prostate gland when he contracted the potentially fatal infection necrotising fasciitis. His bowel was punctured during the procedure in March 2013, but it took staff six days to notice. He was rushed back into theatre, but the infection was already so severe that he was left with just an inch and a half of his penis.




quote:

He was also forced to have the contaminated tissue covering his stomach removed, which he said has left him looking ‘nine months pregnant’.




quote:

‘My wife Sue and I have been together for 18 years and enjoyed a healthy sex life, but since this happened that has been impossible,’ he said. ‘The desire is still there, but the little that’s left just doesn’t function anymore. ‘It’s been a difficult thing to come to terms with for both of us. I know Sue still loves me, but I do feel less of a man.’

The worst part is when he’s wearing pants it must look like he’s hung like a donkey.

has anyone ever donated their penis for transplant? How about from a transgender operation?

I think I'd blow that money in a fatal bender.

That’s honestly not enough for losing your wang. I would need millions or the place burns to the ground.

He has 1.5 inches left, issue is he can only thrust forward

6 figures, that's it?

And how did they come about that, one figure for each inch?

If they cut off what's left they'd only owe him 10 bucks.

They should have put a sign on the door that says, "No flesh-eating superbugs allowed here".

Then we wouldn't have had this article. That easy.

Pretty sure the payment had only moderately to do with what he lost.

The foundation of their case was they made a critical error mid surgery and it took them a week to notice.

I would have demanded a million per inch at least...3 mill is better than 6 figures

It would take a lot more than 100k of hush money to keep me quiet after something like that.

They may have been able to save it had they taken him to the hospital instead. Those guys were just acting like doctors.

Looks like this is in the UK? Had he been in the US he’d have gotten millions. A mother who’s child had brain complications due to a botched birth (should have been a c section and she even requested one) just received a 74M verdict. fricking New Mexico.

He can always go to Houston and Methodist Hospital will reconstruct him a new functional one.
