Rafael and Vanessa Deleon sued Dr. Jennifer J. Garza, of McAllen, in Hidalgo County Court. They claim that after a 90 minutes surgery, Dr. Garza told them there was some [[bleeding ]] but it had stopped, but then a nurse told Garza that the boy was still [[bleeding]], and he was taken to surgery a second time. Garza then told the parents that she stopped the [[bleeding ]] using cauterization.
The child stayed overnight at the hospital. The parents noticed his penis oozed blood every time he urinated.
The following day they were released, and over the next days the parents noticed that when the child urinated there were two streams. He also kept [[bleeding]].
The referring doctor and a third doctor examined the child and were unable to explain the cause of the second stream. In the following days the child continued to be in pain while urinating, refusing to drink anything, blaming the parents for his pain and asking to just have his penis cut off so he can be a girl. The parents had to change the sheets every night due to blood stains.
