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。

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。 人在德国 社区5 v+ j1 J& B z' d# e0 B

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.
