NASHVILLE, Tennessee - Arthur C. Tucker Jr. went to Vanderbilt University Medical Center for treatment for a swollen prostate gland. The doctors used the Prostatron system which is used to destroy excess prostate cells with a beam of microwaves, but during Tucker's appointment, something went terribly wrong.
Nurses told him that the pain he felt was normal when it turns out the catheter may have slipped during the procedure causing the microwaves to be directed at his penis. His penis was burnt so badly that he stayed in bed for nearly a month, and then the member still had to be amputated. Tucker and his wife sued the hospital and EDAP Technomed Inc., which distributed the device, for $13 million. They reached an out-of-court settlement this week and the couple is reportedly "satisfied."
