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.
The clinic in Hochfranken, Bavaria, has since suspended the surgical team.
Now the woman is planning to sue the hospital. She still needs the leg operation and is searching for another hospital to do it.

So much for socialized medicine. For the Germans, all they can do is bend over and smile, whether they need to or not.

She’s probably got the makings of a court case and a settlement, if the jury can stop laughing long enough.

This possibly could be the “Thread of the day”.
There are just WAY TOO MANY jokes that can be made about this one.

I imagine she ordered her lawyer to return the favor to those who were at fault...

Forgive my naiveness, but how do you get a new anus? Isn’t it just skin? Did she get a new sphincter too? Or is sphincter the same as a rectum is the same as anus?
