Iowa man awarded $12 million after clinic misdiagnoses cancer

Iowa man's prostate removed by mistake.
An Iowa man has been awarded more than $12 million after a jury found that he wrongfully underwent surgery when a medical center gave him an erroneous cancer diagnosis.

The Iowa Clinic was ordered by a Polk County jury on Friday to pay 65-year-old Rickie Huitt $12.25 million after an anatomical laboratory directory mixed his samples with those of someone who tested positive for prostate cancer, WHO-TV reported.
Dr. Joy Trueblood told prosecutors in a deposition that she was working on two patients in 2017 when she mixed up the files, ultimately informing Huitt that he had cancer.

The former John Deere factory worker was then scheduled for surgery and had his prostate gland removed, The Des Moines Register reported. He also suffered nerve damage and was left impotent.

Huitts’ lawyers initially asked for $15 million after he claimed side effects from the surgery affected his marriage and left him unable to control his bladder.

“For him, he’s lost his manhood,” Huitts’ lawyer told the jury.

 

Age doesn't have a lot to do with losing sexual desire or ability. Genetics and a life long diet of avoiding fats such as butter and steaks, etc. Fatty foods and high cholesterol levels and untreated diabetes, can bring a healthy sex life to a halt.
Seeing those young truck drivers pigging out on sausage & biscuits covered in gravy & butter & pancakes and bacon; kinda' feel sorry for them, because at a relatively early age they'll be all talk and no action when they're eyeballin' some cute waitress.

 

If you're still ok at 70, then the odds are in your favor to stay healthy. Keep the blood flowing, walk every day, eat at least halfway decently, take a 81 mg. aspirin & Saw Palmetto every day .
I sometimes talk to some of my old Navy buddies and they're all impotent except the one that still boozes and chain smokes. In his case, it has to be genetics that keeps him healthy.
One of them just got old and died, but at the time of his death, he had 2 children in elementary school; I think 2nd & 3rd grades. He was funny, had a DNA test done because he had a vasectomy and discovered the vasectomy wasn't successful and they are indeed his children.

 

I found a good website for continuing a healthy fulfilling life of sexual health.
I've been using the website for maybe 20 years now. There's men's and women's health products on there. They no longer take Visa Card, so you'll need another one.
