A man from Italy is seeking €400,000 (£354,000) in compensation after surgeons allegedly wrongly amputated his penis, believing it to be cancerous. It was later discovered that he had a form of syphilis that could have been treated with medication. The surgery occurred in November 2018 at San Donato Hospital in Arezzo, Tuscany, and the patient, now 68 years old, intends to take the 35-year-old urologist responsible to court. A preliminary hearing in a court in Arezzo next month will determine whether the case will proceed to trial. The man has requested anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the situation and claims to have suffered significant physical and psychological harm. The surgeon, who is highly respected, no longer works at the Tuscany hospital but now operates in a Milan hospital. According to local newspaper Corriere di Arezzo, the man’s experience was both painful and embarrassing.

Tanks containing ‘large quantity of cattle semen’ stolen in burglaryTanks containing ‘large quantity of cattle semen’ stolen in burglary
In a bizarre and costly crime, thieves have made off with two tanks of high-value bull semen from a farm in Clogher, County Tyrone. The theft of the cryogenic storage units represents a major financial blow, with the contents estimated to be worth a substantial sum into the tens of thousands of pounds.
The thieves targeted the farm sometime between Monday evening and Tuesday morning. The stolen semen was valuable genetic material used for artificial insemination in cattle breeding programs.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) has launched an investigation and is appealing for witnesses. Given the highly specialized nature of the stolen property, they believe the tanks would be difficult for the thieves to sell on. Anyone noticing suspicious activity related to agricultural genetic materials is encouraged to contact the police immediately.
Passengers Kicked Off Flight for Saying ‘Penis’Passengers Kicked Off Flight for Saying ‘Penis’
On Monday night, three passengers were removed from a flight at Flint Bishop International Airport by flight attendants. Two of them were allegedly kicked off the plane for using a certain anatomical term, according to the passengers. The incident involved a father-in-law and son who claimed that they were having a good time and mentioned the word “penis” without any derogatory intent. However, the flight crew had deemed their behavior unruly, possibly due to other factors such as being intoxicated or aggressive. Allegiant Airlines provided a different version of the story, stating that the passengers failed to comply with the crew’s instructions and were therefore deplaned for the safety of other passengers and crew members. The airline emphasizes that it does not tolerate any disruptive, abusive, or unruly behavior on its flights.
Born Without An AnusBorn Without An Anus
A baby boy in Pakistan was born with an incredibly rare medical condition known as diphallia, which means he has two working penises but no anus. According to a team of researchers who published their findings in the International Journal of Surgery Case Reports, the chances of being born with this condition are one in six million. Diphallia can present as complete or incomplete and is often associated with complex urological, gastrointestinal, or anorectal malformations.
The abstract of the study revealed that the boy’s penises were both normal-shaped, with one being slightly larger than the other at 2.5 cm and 1.5 cm in length, respectively. The boy had two separate urethral orifices, and both phalluses had normal-shaped glans with urethral openings located in the typical position. He had a single scrotum with two midline raphe and well-formed rouge. The boy was passing urine from both orifices, and an ultrasonography of his urological system showed two ureters and a single hemi bladder.
After being admitted to the hospital, the baby boy underwent surgery, and a sigmoid-divided colostomy was constructed. During the operation, the doctors also identified a congenital pouch colon. To enable the baby to pass stools, the doctors created an opening via a colonoscopy.
