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.

One of the safeguards to prevent wrong-site surgery in the US is requiring the surgeon to sign the surgical site before the patient is anesthetized. An exception to the requirement is a surgical site which is not a paired structure, e.g., the anus. If you are in the holding area of a large county hospital operating room waiting for an umbilical herniorrhaphy, and the guy next door is waiting for his new anus, watch out.

When they say she got a "new" anus, does that mean that she still has the old one? Or was this a replacement?

watch out for your cornhole, bud.

i understand she's signed a contract with vivid pictures.

Pooper.

Times 2.

I'll bet the doctors are looking for a loophole.

At least in her lawsuit she will still have a leg to stand on.

A sphincter says what?

Back to the real point. When I had recent surgery, my surgeon -who I had visited- nurses and I signed were required to "xx" on the areas to be cut into. Sad, but I got the right surgery. The surgeon and I had to initial too. Glad I did.

I assume she will be branching out from threesomes to foursomes.

 

[El_Oso]

It will be hard to make this case airtight now that there are so many holes in it.

 

[HornOnTheBayou]

She probably tore those doctors a new one.
