I vaguely recall seeing an article about this before trial. It sounds like you know more about this than I do.
Had there been any kind of biopsy or anything at all that led doctor and/or patient to believe cancer was present or likely to be? The picture I get in my head is of the doctor standing there, scalpel in one hand, diseased appendage in the other and shrieking "Holy guacamole look at that! Should I wake this guy up or should I just go ahead and start pruning?" I get that he didn't take the whole thing but this isn't exactly toenail trimming. It won't grow back. I think I'd be upset, too.
Or maybe this was a case of a dirt bag lawyer thinking that " . . he didn't give specific consent . . half the jury will be men . . they will feel this!"
What do you think?
