New Mexico Man Awarded $412 Million for Botched Penile Injections
A New Mexico jury awarded a man over $412 million in a medical malpractice case against NuMale Medical Center, a multi-state men’s health clinic. The verdict, the largest ever in a U.S. medical malpractice case, stems from allegations of fraudulent misdiagnosis and unnecessary, damaging penile injections administered to a 66-year-old patient in 2017. The plaintiff’s attorneys described the clinic’s actions as a scheme to defraud elderly men, while NuMale stated it maintains safety standards and will not comment on specifics due to ongoing legal proceedings. The jury found the clinic liable for fraudulent and negligent conduct, as well as violations of the Unfair Practices Act.
