A 78-year-old German woman went into the hospital last month to have surgery on her leg. Because of a mixup, Frankenpost reports that she left the Hochfranken-Klinik in Münchberg, Germany, with an artificial anus.
The paper says some members of the surgical team have been punished in connection with the series of mistakes that led them to operate on the wrong patient.
Prosecutors are said to be looking into the incident. As for the unidentified patient, she still needs knee surgery and plans to file a lawsuit.
Sounds like she’ll be colon a lawyer soon! Badumpa Tish!
