Vet Files Claim After Wrong Testicle Removed

Just wow. Something I wonder is where the article mentions that the testicle was "atrophied and painful." Uh... how exactly does a testicle atrophy? Hasn't been used or exercised recently?

Benjamin Houghton, 47, was to have had his left testicle removed June 14 at the West Los Angeles VA Medical Center because there was a chance it could harbor cancer cells. It also was atrophied and painful.

But doctors mistakenly removed the right testicle, according to medical records and the claim, which seeks $200,000 for future care and unspecified damages. He still hasn't had the other testicle removed.
