A gynaecologist is being sued for branding his patient's name on to her removed uterus.
Dr Red Alinsod claims the unusual act, using a laser burning tool, was simply a 'friendly gesture' because the female patient was a 'good friend'.
However, Ingrid Paulicivic, a 47-year-old hairdresser from California, was not so impressed.
She alleges the branding was done for 'no medically necessary purpose or reason' and that she somehow suffered burns on her legs while the uterus was being marked, according to her complaint.
Her lawyer Devan Mullins called the branding 'inexcusably bizarre behaviour', adding that the 50-year-old Dr Alinsod was 'fooling around and having fun'.
Dr Alinsod told The Smoking Gun website he wrote Mrs Paulicivic's name on the uterus because he 'did not want to get it confused with others' but admitted it was not standard practice.

The only ‘pain and suffering’ here was the lawyers’ lack of cash flow
Why does she feel such an attachment to an organ that she had removed? Does she feel the same sort of attachment to her external skin cells that the body is continuously shedding and renewing?
Why is it a little bit too familiar with you? Do you have a friend who is a gynecologist?
I used to work with this doctor. To be honest he is no weirdo. I think this lady is just trying to get some $$$.
Signed up today just to post that?
Not gonna carry much weight, I'm afraid.
If you know his personality he probably didn’t mean anything by it but only in an innocent and joking manner with the women taking advantage of the situation. In such a litigious society it is just too risky to do corny things like that.
