Woman Goes for Leg Operation, Gets New Anus Instead



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.

Lots a insurance companies and states will refuse to pay for medical mistakes from now on and that even includes infections you get if admitted to the hospital.

i would not expect that they would pay if the hospital screwed up. it's the hospital that should pay... not the patient or insurance company.
