Jurors in New Mexico have awarded a man over $412 million in a medical malpractice case involving a men’s health clinic, NuMale Medical Center, that operates in multiple states. The case centered on allegations of fraud and dangerous penile injections that caused irreversible damage to the plaintiff. His attorneys hailed the verdict as a record-setting judgment for a medical malpractice case in the U.S. They emphasized the importance of holding licensed professionals accountable for breaching their fiduciary duties by defrauding patients for financial gain. The lawsuit accused the clinic of misdiagnosing the man and subjecting him to unnecessary treatments. The plaintiff’s legal team accused NuMale Medical Center of setting up a fraudulent scheme to deceive older men into receiving injections multiple times a week. In response, the clinic’s president, Brad Palubicki, stated that their focus remains on providing responsible patient care while adhering to strict safety and compliance standards. The case highlights the need for oversight in medical practices to protect patients from exploitation and negligence.
