Uterus Branding Lawsuit
This has to be one of the stupidest lawsuits I've ever seen.
Nine women are asking to join a lawsuit against a surgeon accused of branding the initials of his alma mater -- the University of Kentucky -- onto a patient's uterus during a hysterectomy.
The women -- including a former nurse of Dr. James M. Guiler -- say they discovered they had been similarly branded after watching videotapes Guiler had provided of their procedures.
Jane, you ignorant slut. You were not branded. An organ was marked after it had been removed from your body. Does it really matter how it was marked? Would you feel better if he had drawn a little smiley face on it?
I had a hysterectomy about 16 years ago. And frankly, I wouldn't have cared if my doctor had dried it, tied it up with little purple ribbons & wore it as a hat in a parade through town. I was going to live to fight another day. (BTW, ladies, have a Pap every year. Don't be a statistical anomaly. The money you save by skipping a year or two isn't worth dying for.)
Get over it, you stupid cows.

An assignment at school was to find a civil suit and write a paper on it. This case caught my attention, I think because I couldn't believe that someone could be so ignorant as to sue over something so stupid. "Jane" needs to get over it
