　　本杰明-霍顿现年47岁，曾经在美国空军中服役。由于查出其左侧睾丸中有癌细胞扩散，在洛杉矶退伍军人医疗中心接受了左侧睾丸摘除手术。但是不幸的是，由于医生在手术中的疏忽，错将其健康的右侧睾丸切除。rs238848.rs.hosteurope.de9 d4 w# m* }, Y( w% G% w  ]( X

　　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。 rs238848.rs.hosteurope.de9 Z; b5 W& {5 [, d+ A( A
