Benjamin Houghton, a 47-year-old father of four, underwent surgery last June for the removal of his potentially cancerous left testicle. Doctors instead removed his healthy right testicle, The Los Angeles Times reported. Houghton and his wife, Monica, are seeking about $200,000 for future healthcare costs and an undisclosed amount in damages, the newspaper said. The lawsuit claims Houghton was deprived of the testosterone the healthy testicle produced, creating the potential for complications includ- ing sexual dysfunction, depression, fatigue, weight gain and osteoporosis. |
