The incident, which occurred in 2024, has brought to light serious medical errors and irregularities within the clinic where the procedure was performed.

Approximately two hours later, at 10 p.m., emergency services were called again, but the patient succumbed to a heart attack.Initial investigations ruled out the injections themselves as the direct cause of death.
The subsequent investigation, as reported by Le parisien, focused on the inadequate response of the medical staff to the initial emergency call. The French court resolute that the patient’s death was not a result of the penis enlargement injection,but rather due to “serious medical errors committed by the doctors during treatment.”

Guy H,originally from Algeria,had been practicing in France for over two decades without being registered with the French medical association. He faced allegations of failing to assist a person in danger,practicing medicine without a license,and drug-related offenses. The investigation also uncovered broader irregularities within the clinic’s operations.
Legal Consequences
In addition to being permanently barred from practicing medicine, both surgeons involved in the procedure were issued considerable fines. The case highlights the critical importance of proper medical licensing, adherence to safety protocols, and appropriate emergency response in medical procedures.
