U.S. man who castrated another man charged with illegally practising medicineOAK PARK, Mich. (AP) - A man who police say castrated another man on a kitchen table was charged Friday with a felony count of practising medicine without a licence. Police in June found the apparently willing victim, a 48-year-old Birmingham man, sitting on a curb in bloodstained blue jeans.
Officers later found a pair of severed testicles in a plastic container in a refrigerator at the home of the suspect, Shuo-Shan Wang, a 29-year-old from Oak Park. Wang also is charged with unlawful dispensing of a prescription drug, a 90-day misdemeanour.
The charge of practising medicine without a licence is punishable by four years in jail.
It was not known why the man allowed his testicles to be removed.
The unidentified man, who later had three hours of surgery in hospital, had met Wang through the Internet, police said. The pair chatted online before meeting in person.
Police said Wang removed the testicles with a scalpel while the man was on the kitchen table. Afterward, the victim started bleeding uncontrollably.
But the bleeding didn't start immediately. Police said Wang first stitched the wound, and the two sat and ate pie.
