A St. Paul man, complaining of chronic pain, wanted to have his testicles removed. When conventional medical staff refused to do the job, he hired other "professionals" to takeout his testicles, according to a report in the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Two or three people operated on the man, Russell Daniel Angus, 62, a couple weeks ago at his home in St. Paul. He was unconscious during the surgery, and when he woke up, his testicles had been removed-- and the surreptitious surgeons were nowhere to be found.
His groin area was bleeding heavily, so he called his daughter. She called for help. When police arrived, they found a makeshift operating room set up in the upper level of the house. There were bright lights, a makeshift operating table, medical supplies and equipment, and a camera. Angus was still bleeding, and there was blood in the living room, hall and bathroom, according to the police affidavit filed with the search warrant application. He was taken to Regions Hospital and is recovering.
His wife, Anna Marie Angus, told police that her husband spends a lot of time on the Internet due to his limited mobility. Since then, St. Paul police have been looking for the mysterious people behind the surgery, suspecting that it was an illegal medical procedure. Angus wouldn't say who the mysterious practitioners were, telling police that he didn't want to get them into trouble.
St. Paul police spokesman Tom Walsh said he has seen a lot in his years on the force, but this case is remarkable. "I have never in my life seen anything quite like that."
