Mark Wattson of Swindon, England was diagnosed with a ruptured appendix in August. He thought the doctors must have made a mistake, since his appendix had been removed in July! Nevertheless, his appendix was removed in a second surgery.
And that wasn’t the end of his troubles.
Wattson is considering taking legal action against the hospital. Link -via Arbroath
"I couldn't believe what I was hearing," Mr Wattson said. "I told these people I had my appendix out just four weeks earlier but there it was on the screen for all to see.
"I thought: 'What the hell did they slice me open for in the first place'?"
And that wasn’t the end of his troubles.
The blunder has left Mr Wattson jobless, as bosses at the shop where he worked did not believe his story and sacked him.

I mean, apprently they led him to believe that they actually took out his appendix. WTH happened?
I hope he does sue them. He's lucky to even be alive.
I figure that at least a 1/4th of them do. We Canadians take recycling seriously.
He should be fined and locked up! Social networking my ass.
Oh well, something about "Steel City" I guess.
Hypocrites, all. Why not become effectual and proactive by demanding the cessation of the toxic containment of corn-syrup or bottled water or some over-priced juice?
The problem with pollution? The individual irresponsibility of people who want their cake, to eat it, then to tell others how they should eat it, what time, how it should taste, etc. etc. etc.
Stop buying the shit, and manufacturers will cow-tow to demands that will keep their quarterly digits a-poppin'. Half the useless bullshit sold at Walmart is made of petroleum, manufactured by Asian wage-slaves, by a country whose Borg-like masses are way to far removed from sane sensibilities.....because they wanna be like the star-bellied sneetches....That would be y'all, us, we.
Glass is best. Throw it in the ocean and it turns into something the ocean can use. Oh but wait...what would the world be like without plastic??
Go look at some photographs prior to saaaay, 1930. Utilitarian plastics have given the world a rather dull, artless, cheesy look, and has no doubt contributed to the insanity that allows companies whose bulk of revenue comes from the 24-production of it, to continue to operate.
Hooray for this guy throwing empty plastic bottles with messages into the ocean! It's much more cathartic and profitable than lazily buying a bottle of (insert crap here) like some raccoon grabbing a shiny bauble.
Ok, done-*steps off soapbox during derby
