    Woman Goes for Leg Operation, Gets New Anus Instead
    Thursday, March 20, 2008


    A German retiree is taking a hospital to court after she went in for a leg operation and got a new anus instead, the Daily Telegraph is reporting.

    The woman woke up to find she had been mixed up with another patient suffering from incontinence who was to have surgery on her sphincter.

    Click hear Dr. Manny talk about medical errors.

    The clinic in Hochfranken, Bavaria, has since suspended the surgical team.
    No matter where I've traveled or how great the trip was, it's always wonderful to return to my country, The United States of America......... me

    Ya know, it seems to me that it wouldn't take a rocket scientist to identify a healthy sphincter (ass hole) from an unhealthy one. So either they weren't paying attention or the government health care system is allowing IDIOTS to practice medicine...either way it's a sign of things to come. Then again I think we already kill 100,000 per/yr here due to mistakes.

    Earlier this year I hyper-extended my left arm, snapping the distal biceps tendon at the radius bone...... ouch. I went in to have the tendon reattached 4 weeks ago..... routine surgery, done all the time...... the surgery supposedly went well. One small problem, my left hand is numb and doesn't respond to commands. I can grip with some strength but can't stretch out my fingers. The surgeon thinks they may have pinched a nerve when they used a retractor to hold open the incision during the surgery, he says it should come back...... should! You really don't know how much you use both hands for the simpliste things until you don't have the use of one. My heart goes out to those guys in the service that come back missing body parts, it helps keep me from feeling sorry for myself.

    Yes this happens all the time in European health care sytems, stories like this every day, I don't even know why this one was reported so widely given that it happens, whoa, every few hours, okay make that every few minutes, it's just burgeoning out of control.....

    I know just what you mean. I broke my my right shoulder a few yrs ago. I couldn't use my right arm at all, I'm right handed. It was a learning experience for sure. Reminds me of that song lyric..."you don't know what ya got till it's gone". It's so true. It's all back now, but it took more than a year. A yr I'll not forget.

    I've no doubt you would run circles around me, and kick my shins with impunity. I have never played the game, since there weren't enough girls in my high school to field a team....

    ...but I have seen the girls play on TV a couple of times...even from far off exotic lands where they talk funny, too....kind of reminds me of the entertainment I used to get when I was a kid on Saturday mornings watching ALL Star Rasslin.....only the picture is clearer now, but I still can't figure out how they plan the winners......

    Just for the record, I am not, nor have I ever been a Millwall supporter
