An angry Romanian doctor has cut off a patient's penis during surgery and chopped it into small pieces.Surgeon Naum Ciomu was operating on patient Nelu Radonescu, 36, to correct a testicular malformation when he suddenly lost his temper.
Grabbing a scalpel, he sliced off the penis in front of shocked nursing staff, and then placed it on the operating table where he chopped it into small pieces before storming out of the operating theatre at Bucharest hospital.
A Romanian court has now awarded Radonescu £20,000 costs - to pay for the operation to rebuild his ruined penis using tissue from his arm - as well as £100,000 in damages.
The medical costs will be paid by the hospital's insurer, but doctors' unions have criticised the decision that the money for the damages has to be paid by the doctor.

Snelgrove this is actually a serious story - and I see you have associated a somewhat inappropriate photo to go with it.
You have clearly used our "Crowd-Sourcing" option to do this, which is your right as a NowPublic member. If fact, we encourage our members to do this - it's a great way to make stories more interesting.
But we do ask members to use common sense when doing so.
Many thanks.

I hope someone does the same thing to this doctor.
