A man who claimed that he had an 8-month long erection because of his urologist's improper care will not receive any financial compensation.
According to the News Journal of Wilmington in Delaware, the New Castle County Superior Court jury found urologist Dr. Thomas Desperito was not medically negligent when his patient Daniel Metzgar suffered from post-surgery complications, CBS News reported.
Desperito had put a penile implant in Metzgar, a New Jersey native, in December 2009.
During the trial, Metzgar said that he had the device implanted to improve his sex life after diabetes left him with erectile dysfunction but his testicles swelled up to the size of a volleyball shortly after the surgery.
Desperito's lawyers said that the complications were a risk with any surgery, adding that Metzgar should have known that something was wrong and should have come sooner.
