Woman Goes for Leg Operation, Gets New Anus

If you think you’re having a bad day, at least you didn’t accidentally get a new anus. But if you did accidentally get a new anus, then yes, you are having a bad day. According to FoxNews.com:

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.

Here’s how I imagine that post-operation conversation going:
Woman: (groggily) Oh…wow…is the operation over?

Doctor: Yes, it was a complete success.

Woman: That is such a relief.

Doctor: Just get a little rest and let me know if you need anything.

Woman: OK, thanks! Oh, um, Doc?

Doctor: Yes?

Woman: Um, my leg still hurts and…for some reason, my anus REALLY hurts.

Doctor: (looks at chart) Oh man, is my face red! See, I thought you were in for anus surgery, not leg surgery. So instead of fixing your leg, I gave you a new anus. You understand, right?

Woman: Totally! That happens to me all the time!

(Both laugh.)
