An Army veteran is seeking $10 million from the federal government,
accusing a Veterans Administration nurse of repeatedly put ice packs on
his penis after surgery, causing frostbite and gangrene and ultimately
leading to the organ's partial amputation.
Michael D. Nash of Louisville filed suit Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Louisville for what he calls medical malpractice.
Nash, who served in the Army in 1968 and 1969, went to the VA
hospital in Lexington for medically necessary surgery on his penis.
Nash's attorney, Larry Jones of Jones Ward law firm in Louisville, said
that after the procedure a nurse packed Nash's groin in ice for 19
hours.

I wonder if this guy had a choice in where he was treated.One can assume he recieved sub standard medical treatment,but a lack of choice might factor in his favor.
Wow, THAT'S gotta hurt!
