Jury awards $1.5M in penis suit MIAMI, Sept. 27 (UPI) -- A Miami jury has awarded a former bartender $1.5 million in damages from two doctors the man said injured his penis while treating him for warts. In his suit, Patrick T. O'Neill, 43, alleged the doctors who treated him provided negligent care in 1996 after removing three papilloma, the Miami Herald said. He had developed an infection and received treatment from the doctors, who assured him that there was nothing wrong, the newspaper said. O'Neill ended up with a "disabling case of Peyronie's Disease, among other things," the suit says. Peyronie's Disease is scarring along the penis shaft and may interfere with an erection. In addition, O'Neil was in constant penile pain, and endured curvature and a condition that caused his penis to decrease in size, the suit contends. He has been undergoing treatment for the past 10 years, the newspaper said. After deliberating for about an hour Monday, the six-person jury awarded O'Neill $1 million for past pain and suffering; $490,000 for future pain and suffering, and $10,000 for past medical expenses.
