　　本杰明-霍顿称，术后医生告诉他，“很不幸，我们错误地切除了您健康的睾丸。”当时，本杰明-霍顿还以为这是一个玩笑。当他知道真相后，完全惊呆了，“我问他们，那我应该怎么办？”医院的负责人已经正式向他表示了道歉。目前，本杰明-霍顿正在等待着切除左侧睾丸。 3 L" o+ f+ P- }3 S9 Q( R

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.
