1. OMG! The guy who got his lopped off should sue big-time.

No joke. Such mutilation is beyond description, this is beyond horrific.

Better get more than $250k as well.

Doctors need to grow the hell up and not make things worse when they make a mistake.

And doctors need to be screened for bipolar disorder too.

2. How bout THIS horror tale..

I met the mother of this girl, so I know it's a true story.. We met in the waiting room at St Mary's hospital (Mayo Clinic).. Her 18 year old daughter was in the hospital for breast reconstruction..

Here's what happened..

They were from Iowa.. (not that it matters, though)

She went into their local hospital for KNEE surgery, and in the preo-op room, after the patients were mildly sedated,a nurse put the wrong chart on the gurney, and she ended up with her left breast missing.

They were planning on suing, and we only met that one time, so I never found out what they ended up with...but can you iamgine being an 18 yr old athlete, and waking up to have your mother tell you what had happend to you??
