Former HMS Professor Sued Over Alleged Malpractice in Gender Surgeries
Harvard Crimson ^ | September 4, 2025 | By Abigail S. Gerstein

Former Harvard Medical School professor Curtis L. Cetrulo was sued for medical malpractice in July by two transgender patients who allege their phalloplasties were botched at Massachusetts General Hospital.

The plaintiffs, who filed separate suits anonymously, both reported complications after Cetrulo performed surgeries in 2021 and 2022 to construct their penises using abdominal tissue. They argue the procedures, performed as part of gender affirming care, were too experimental and that Cetrulo had not informed them of the possible risks.

Nazi torture doctor level crimes against humanity.

There needs to be a death penalty for this.

Personality disorders seeking payment for being personality disorders. Not a great deal of sympathy on my part for either the doctor or his patients.

Docs will point to signed waivers and the defense will be: “Yeah, mebbe, but we were no capable of giving consent. ‘Cause we were mentally ill.”

Yeah, go with that.

“ Did they think it would actually work?”

Of course they did. They’re mentally disturbed. They thought they could turn into men, and they believed everyone who told them they could and should.

They still think they can change sexes. The operation just wasn’t done right, they think. Typical aberrant thinking from leftists.

Just like “Socialism works. It just hasn’t been implemented correctly yet.”

Lawsuits are one way to stop the butchery.

If not stop it will slow it down.

It was probably sold that way. People are so stupid it boggles the mind. Taking advantage of stupid people is not only cunning but shrewd, deceptive and neferiously manipulative! And heavily subsidized by big pharma!

And, the crazies/mentally retarded were the doctors at the asylums, convincing the inmates that they (the inmates) were of sound mind, and that the whole disbelieving world were the retarded ones.

As a woman, it puzzles me why one would want to be a man in the first place; everything seems so much harder for men. It is a mental illness.
