Army vet sues for $10m after his penis was amputated because 'nurse left ice packs on it for 19 HOURS'
An Army veteran is seeking $10 million compensation after his penis had to be amputated after a nurse left ice packs on his groin for 19 hours after surgery.
Michael D. Nash, 61, of Louisville, has accused a Veterans Administration nurse of causing frostbite and gangrene due to too much exposure to ice, ultimately leading to the organ's partial amputation.
Nash, who served in the Army in 1968 and 1969, went to the VA hospital in Lexington on October 28, 2010, to have a penile implant and circumcision.
