Botched vasectomy ruined patient's life
"A MAN left in excruciating pain after a vasectomy operation has won the right to claim up to £1 million compensation for medical negligence.
Daniel Stalker, 51, of Dunbar, East Lothian, said he complained three times that the anaesthetic had not taken effect but, despite his pleas, the doctor proceeded with the operation.
Mr Stalker, a former soldier, suffered a nerve injury and later agreed to the drastic measure of having his testes removed, but this failed to alleviate the constant pain he has experienced since the operation 12 years ago.
