In the "I Don't Even Have That Apparatus and I'm Still Crossing My Legs Uncomfortably" Department

From Ross at Bloviator (ouch!!!!):

If this happened in the United States, would $250,000 in pain and suffering cover it for this guy?
    A Romanian surgeon, in what is being described as a fit of madness, cut off a patient's penis during a procedure that was supposed to rectify a testicular malformation. The surgeon, Dr. Naum Ciomu proceeded to cut the penis of the 34-year-old man in several pieces, hospital officials confirmed on Friday.

    The surgeon lost his temper after making a mistake during the routine testicular malformation procedure , which led to the fit of madness, it has been reported.

    Dr. Ciomu is banned from performing any further surgical procedures pending an investigation by the Romanian medical council.

    The wife of the patient may take legal action against Dr Ciomu.
May take legal action?
