This was certainly a living nightmare for American Philip Seaton.

The horror!

An American dude went under surgery recently to get circumcised, only to find that his dong had been surgically removed without consent, reports Yahoo! News.

The incident occurred four years ago at a Jewish hospital, where Lorry driver Philip Seaton, 64, underwent the surgery to treat an inflammation. The doctor, however, found out that Philip had a rare penile cancer called squamous cell carcinoma, and went ahead to remove his penis.

Obviously, Philip wasn’t pleased, and perhaps feeling some penis envy, decided to sue. His lawyer contend that the situation wasn’t as bad as it seemed and that the man should’ve been allowed to consult another specialist regarding his manhood.

The trial against the doctor is ongoing.

Philip told jurors: “I pulled the dressing down, and I didn’t see nothing. Then I came out of the restroom and I said I’m getting the hell out of this damn hospital.”

In reply, the doctor said: “What I saw was not a penis. What I saw was cancer.”
