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.

Disaster.

Here's a picture of the patient getting ready to plant a big wet one on her new anus.

How many times has someone ever walked into a hospital and said, “Hi, I’m here for my anus surgery.”

I bet that has NEVER happened.

"Forgive my naiveness, but how do you get a new anus? Isn’t it just skin?"

If I'm not mistaken, the anus is, technically speaking, the opening, so I'm not sure how the new one might be any different than the old one...kind of like, "How much dirt is in a hole that measures 2' x 2' x 2'?"

Yes I agree. I was in the hospital and came out sicker than when I went in but nothing like this happened.

It made me think that it's that time of year to do some core aeration to my lawn. Poke some new holes to spur new growth and a healthy turf.

If it was me, I would say just that. Real loud. Right in the lobby. Might as well have some fun with it.

They can DO that?

Does the staff of the New Yorker know about this?
(They don’t have anuses (ani?) at the New Yorker.)

You’re right!

She is being pretty spiteful, eh?
There are people in Africa who can’t get new bungholes!

BTW, I wonder if she can star in a remake of an old tv show, like that six million dollar woman thing or something.

I think the same way you can buy donut holes.

Begs the question of what did they do with the old one.

He is the head of their National Health now.

Sure she can sue for losing her old anus. But she’ll never have complete closure.
