Man sues Md. doctor, says butt stapled shut
A man alleging a Maryland doctor stapled his rectum shut during an operation ? causing him to go without defecating for 17 days ? took his federal lawsuit to trial Monday in Baltimore.
Ronald Watkins, 64, of West Virginia, is suing Manuel Casiano, a doctor in Frederick County, for allegedly botching a 2004 surgery that left Watkins with permanent bowel problems.
?The reason for suing Dr. Casiano is very simple: His rectum was stapled shut,? said Julia Lodowski, who with attorney Emily Malarkey is representing Watkins and his wife, Brenda.
Lodowski told jurors in U.S. District Court that Watkins now experiences ?rectal discharge? and needs to wipe himself between 12 and 15 times a day.
