A man has been awarded $412m (£325m) in damages after a US clinic gave him "invasive erectile dysfunction shots" that caused him irreversible harm.
Jurors in New Mexico awarded the man the record damages after he fell victim to a scheme that involved fraud and the dangerous injections.
According to the complaint against NuMale Medical Center and its company officials, in 2017 the then 66-year-old visited a clinic in search of help for fatigue and weight loss.
The clinic is accused of misdiagnosing him and unnecessarily giving him the "invasive erectile dysfunction shots".
Lori Bencoe, one of the man's attorneys, said: "It [the damages] is a national record setting case and it's righteous because I don't think there's any place for licensed professionals to be defrauding patients for money.
"That is a very egregious breach of their fiduciary duty.
"That's breach of trust and anytime someone is wearing a white coat, they shouldn't be allowed to do that."
The award follows a trial held in Albuquerque earlier this month that focused on allegations outlined in a 2020 lawsuit.
In a statement, NuMale Medical said its priority was delivering patient care, adding: "While we respect the judicial process, due to ongoing legal proceedings, we cannot comment on specific details of the case at this time."
