“Jurors in New Mexico have awarded a man more than $412 million in a medical malpractice case that involved a men’s health clinic that operates in several states. The man’s attorneys celebrated Monday’s verdict, saying they are hopeful it will prevent other men from falling victim to a scheme that involved fraud and what they described as dangerous penile injections. They said the punitive and compensatory damages total the largest amount to ever be awarded by a jury in a medical malpractice case in the U.S. … According to the complaint, the man was 66 when he visited the clinic in 2017 in search of treatment for fatigue and weight loss. The clinic is accused of misdiagnosing him and unnecessarily treating him with ‘invasive erectile dysfunction shots’ that caused irreversible damage. Nick Rowley, another attorney who was part of the plaintiff’s team, said the out-of-state medical corporation set up a ‘fraudulent scheme to make millions off of conning old men.'” (11/28/24)
