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.

Did they drill?
The scriptwriters for Leno and Letterman are working overtime right now. Can’t wait to see what Colbert does with it.
In my experience there are many people who don't know if their ass is drilled or punched.
No, I don't think there is a song inside this thread, although I am writing one now with the hook, "Ridin' dirty", thanks to the Rev.J.Wright. I can't write an ugly song nor too salty. That wouldn't be right, but that phase keeps circling in my mind....and when you think about some of the things said on this thread, I suppose some of you anal-retentives would see the juxtaposition.
——No, I don’t think there is a song inside this thread——
I’ll bet Phoebe could find a song in this...”The Lady with two anusses, the Lady with two anusses...”
My daughter just had surgery. During prep, the surgeon came in, explained what he was going to do, then wrote his initials on her neck, where the surgery was to take place.
Pretty hard to screw that one up.
LOL. There is NO way I would have posted anyhing like this.
If she did find a song, it is bound to be punk rock.
Not me, after all she soon will own herself a hospital.
Yes. That is born out of an abundance of fear and concern. There are many such rituals. Anything to help avert this type of tragedy is a good thing.
Well, it's a good thing that she didn't go in for brain surgery.
I hate to throw water on all the fun, but I’m particularly sensitive to a friend’s case, and I’m afraid he/she might read this thread. That person recently underwent such an operation for damage done during severe childhood abuse. It was not funny.
As a group, we know lots of $hit.
OK...THAT is funny.
Well, maybe alternative(hole)
All the organs of the body were having a meeting, trying to decide who the hell was in charge.
I should be in charge, said the brain, Because I run all the body’s systems, so without me nothing would happen.
I should be in charge, said the blood, Because I circulate oxygen all over so without me you’d all waste away.
I should be in charge, said the stomach, Because I process food and give all of you energy.
I should be in charge, said the legs, because I carry the body wherever it needs to go.
I should be in charge, said the eyes, Because I allow the body to see where it goes.
I should be in charge, said the rectum , Because I’m responsible for waste removal.
All the other body parts laughed at the rectum and insulted him, so in a huff, he shut down tight.
Within a few days, the brain had a terrible headache,
* the stomach was bloated,
* the legs got wobbly,
* the eyes got watery,
* and the blood Was toxic.
They all decided that the rectum should be the boss.
The Moral of the story: The a hole is usually in charge! :)
And..lemme guess; the other lady got a new leg?
She should have told those doctors to butt out!!
“Singing The Praises of Socialized Medicine” bump!
