Surgeon Stitched Her Phone Number into Patient!

Posted by Alex in Health on March 12, 2007 at 1:48 am

When playboy billionaire Kurt Fulson had to undergo surgery after a snowboarding spill, Dr. Sandra Nemington, head of the surgical team couldn’t resist leaving her phone number … stitched into his leg!

"I saw him when he arrived for prep and couldn’t resist leaving my info," Dr. Nemington said. "I imagine he gets a lot of numbers and I didn’t want him to overlook mine."

Nemington insisted that the digits, artfully stitched, won’t become part of Fulson’s permanent scar in case things don’t work out.

Yes, yes – the picture is a clever photoshoppery, but the story is a gem: Link – via Spluch

Update 3/12/07: The whole thing is fake. The link is to Yahoo!, but the story is from Weekly World News. Darn! I should’ve paid more attention. – Thanks Simon!
