54,000 Euros for the loss of a testicle
By h.b. - Jun 25, 2008 - 7:43 AM

A Barcelona man has been paid compensation after a mis-diagnosis by the Catalan Health Service.

A 22 year old man from Barcelona is to get 54,890 € in compensation from the Catalan Health Service after he lost a testicle. The man was suffering from a twisted testicle which was not diagnosed in time by doctors when he was 20 years old.

The man, named with the initials M.M.C. had gone for treatment in November 2006 suffering from pain and inflammation, but the Patients’ Defender has concluded he received inadequate treatment when an infection was diagnosed. Two days later he returned to the Viladecans Hospital emergency department where the correct diagnoses was then made, but by this time a lack of blood flow meant that one testicle had to be removed.
