Surgeon takes camphone picture of patient's penis

A doctor is facing disciplinary action after taking a picture of a patient's penis during his gallbladder surgery at a hospital in Phoenix.

The 37 year-old man whose penis bears the tatooed slogan 'Hot Rod' says he feels violated by having its image captured by a doc with a mobile phone.

The incident was reported by a member of surgical staff at the hospital. An investigation is underway. Dr Hansen has been placed on administrative leave.
