Benjamin Houghton has filed a federal claim against the West Los Angeles V-A Medical Center. The 47-year-old veteran was to have had his left testicle removed June 14th because there was a chance it could harbor cancer cells. It also was atrophied and painful.

But medical records and the legal claim say doctors removed Houghton's healthy right testicle. The claim seeks 200-thousand dollars for future care and unspecified damages. He still hasn't had the other testicle removed.
