Two Alabama doctors being sued for accidentally amputating a man's penis say the plaintiff's claims are false, according to motions filed by their lawyers on Tuesday, Al.com reported.

The plaintiff, whose legs are amputated and suffers from diabetes, obstructive pulmonary disease and end-stage kidney failure, allegedly lost his member after a routine circumcision in June, according to his lawsuit filed against the Birmingham doctors.

But the doctors, from the Urology Centers of Alabama and Simon-Williamson Clinic, say they never performed any such surgery on the patient and that his lawyer, John Graves, should have known his client's claims have no merit. The two motions call for the lawsuit to be dismissed and for sanctions against Graves.

"Counsel for the plaintiff knew, or within the exercise of any reasonable and ethical care should have known, that the claims are false," reads the motions obtained by Al.com.

Graves is accused of filing the lawsuit before reviewing a single medical record of his client, which he admitted to doing. The lawyer submitted a request for the medical records four working days prior to filing the suit, according to an affidavit from the Urology Centers doctor. However, the suit was filed before Grave's request could be processed.

The Urology Centers doctor said he did perform minor surgery on the patient's penis. But the only thing the doctor did was insert a catheter so the patient could urinate.

No circumcision or complications, including an amputation, occurred during the surgery, the affidavit says according to Al.com.

The patient's lawsuit also names the hospital where the alleged amputation occurred, Princeton Baptist Medical Center, and the law firm Graves is from, Eversole Law, LLC.

Graves said he is still on his client's side and he plans on filing a response to the motions very soon.

"I guess the best way to sum up my personal reaction is to borrow from Hamlet, 'The lady doth protest too much, methinks,' " Graves told Al.com.
