According to a piece in USA Today a 78 year old woman who went to a hospital in Germany last month for a little surgery on her leg ended up leaving the hospital with - get this - an artificial anus. Opps. What this woman do with her shiny new artificial anus besides maybe buy it some nice, soft, triple-ply TP from some of the funds in her forthcoming settlement is yet to be seen.

German newspaper Frankenpost 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.
