Doctor cuts off man's penis, gets upset he has to pay for it

Surgeon Naum Ciomu was operating on patient Nelu Radonescu, 36, to correct a testicular malformation when he suddenly lost his temper. He cut off Radonescu's penis and then chopped it up into small bits on a nearby operating room table. He then ran out of the operating room. The injustice? The union objects to a court judgment imposing 100,000 in damages to pay to reconstruct the man's penis from tissue in his arm.

It appears that it is not a crime to chop up a person's body party (even if the initial amputation was a mistake). The union is outraged because doctors in the country make little money as it is and Ciomu has already been punished enough after having his medical licence suspended.

They insist that he cut off the penis by mistake and then 'overreacted' due to stress in his life. Here is my favorite qoute from Vasile Astarastoae, Vice-president of the Romanian Doctors Union: 'Ciomu's case is a dangerous precedent for all Romanian doctors. In future doctors may have to think very carefully about what work they undertake.'

If this will make doctors think "very carefully" before cutting off the wrong body part and chopping it up into small pieces, I'm okay with that.
