BALTIMORE – A man alleging a Maryland doctor stapled his rectum shut during an operation — causing him to go without defecating for 17 days — took his federal lawsuit to trial Monday in Baltimore.
Ronald Watkins, 64, of West Virginia, is suing Manuel Casiano, a doctor in Frederick County, for allegedly botching a 2004 surgery that left Watkins with permanent bowel problems.
“The reason for suing Dr. Casiano is very simple: His rectum was stapled shut,” said Julia Lodowski, who with attorney Emily Malarkey is representing Watkins and his wife, Brenda.

Sounds like an open and shut case.
Wobbly Bob, you were reading my mind!
So he was full of sh_t?
This doesn't pass the smell test.
just like Harry Reid.
Really. This should be easy to prove or disprove. The whole idea makes me cringe though.
Rectum? Damn near killed ‘em!
>> causing him to go without defecating for 17 days
I wonder what lucky intern got the job of taking that staple out.
MARYLAND NEWS
I think the patient man may be stretching the truth.
It took this genius 17 days to figure out something was wrong?
We have a winner.
This could keep some people from speaking their mind...
Stand back and PULL!!!
But make sure your mouth is closed and you are looking away!
Either way the man is tight lipped about the situation.
Well that’ll make you wobbly Bob.
>> Rectum? Damn near killed ‘em!
This type of injury has been in the news a lot. Did you read about the butcher who backed into his meat grinder, and got a little behind in his work?
Cordially,
Nope...did you hear about the hooker who had an appendectomy? The doctor stitched up the wrong opening and now she's making money on the side....
LOL!!!!!!!!!
Proper PPE is required on this job. I would specify a full face respirator.
Bet Mike Rowe did it...would have been one hellofa Dirty Job...
And then there was the lady who backed into an airplane propeller. Disaster.
I figured this was about Barney Frank. I guess not...
The doctor’s attorney dismissed the patient complaint, saying the man had a history of being anal retentive, anyway.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!
That’s just wrong...hilarious, but oh so wrong.
Oy. Apt, though gross.
>> now she’s making money on the side....
Heh. Hadn’t heard about that one.
I did hear about the lady flight line worker who backed into the airplane propeller.
Disaster!
Stand back kid, that things gonna blow!
Who is the boss
When the body was first made, all the parts wanted to be the boss.
The brain said, “since I control everything and do all the thinking, I should be the boss.”
The feet said, “since I carry man where he wants to go and get him in position to do what the brain wants, then I should be the boss.”
The hands said, “since I must do all the work and earn all the money to keep the rest of you going, I should be the boss.”
And so it went with the eyes, the heart, the lungs, and all the other parts of the body, each giving the reason why they should be the boss.
Finally, the a##hole spoke up and said it was going to be the boss.
All the other parts laughed and laughed at the idea of the a##hole being the boss. The a##hole got so angry that he blocked himself off and refused to function.
Soon the brain was feverish and could barely think, the feet felt like lead weights and was almost too weak to drag the body anywhere, the eyes grew bleary, and the hands hung useless at the sides. All pleaded with the brain to let the a##hole be declared the boss.
And so it happened; all the other parts did all the work and the a##hole just bossed and passed out a lot of crap.
THE MORAL: You don’t have to be a brain to be a boss, just an old a##hole.
Alternate moral: No matter how well things are going, it can all be shut down by a single a##hole.
:-)
Wish I had read YOUR post before I “did number 32”...
ROFLMAO - oh my lord, I can’t stop laughing over your post....
the doctor’s attorney indicated that the plaintiff was full of SH*T ...
This would make Sheryl Crowe happy. Saves lots of toilet paper.
THE MONKEY AND THE PIG
Three agricultural scientists were determined to discover how much a pig could eat before it just had to take a crap. To this end they procured a Yorkshire sow and pushed a large cork into her arse.
After six weeks of force feeding, the sow was the size of the Goodyear airship and threatening to burst. Being humane types, the scientists agreed that the cork must now be removed.
No-one wished to volunteer for the job, however, so in true scientific tradition, they decided to train a monkey for the task and swiftly put a small gibbon through a crash course in cork-pulling.
The day came and the pig was air-lifted out to the desert for safety's sake. Special equipment was set up to monitor the event. Picture the scene: In the middle of the desert, the pig. Behind the pig, the monkey. One mile behind him, the first scientists with a video camera. One mile behind that scientist are the other two scientists with a seismometer. Finally, the monkey reaches up and pulls out the cork. SPLAT!
When the massive geyser has subsided, the two scientists find themselves knee-deep in pig manure. Grabbing shovels they wade forward and dig out the first man who has been buried up to his neck. When they free him they find that he is laughing hysterically.
"What's so funny?" they ask.
"You should have seen the monkey trying to get the cork back in!"
Same thing happened in Arkansas... except the doctor used duct tape.
I’m gonna report you for abuse!
(I am laughing so hard I feel like I’ve been punched in the stomach... if that ain’t abuse then the word has no meaning!)
Wow, that’s funny!
Maybe we all should have this procedure done to keep congress from sticking it to us.
I couldn’t resist, I copied it from another thread earlier this week!
Ronald Reagan used to tell a story about two brothers, one who was hopelessly pessimistic, the other persistently optimistic. Because they were at extreme ends, the father locked each into a room by himself. The pessimistic boy was locked in a room filled with every toy imaginable, and the optimistic boy was locked in a room filled with horse sh!t. The father decided that this might bring the pessimistic boy up a few pegs, and the optimistic boy down a few.
The next day, he checked on his two sons. In the room full of toys, the father found his pessimistic son crying. When he asked what was wrong, the boy said he was afraid to play with his toys because he might break them. When he checked in on the optimist, he found the boy gleefully digging through the piles of sh!t, as if it were Christmas morning.
“WHAT are you doing?” the father asked with horror.
The son looked at him full of joy and said, “With all this horsesh!t in here, there’s GOT to be a pony in here somewhere!”
>> I couldn’t resist, I copied it from another thread earlier this week!
I can’t resist either... I stole it for my (s)crapbook.
It’s “apropos” with a capital “A”.
You’d think he would have noticed before 17 days, huh?
The one with the quickest reaction time.
Normally you have to travel to Carroll County for this kind of healthcare.
So, exactly hgy did it take this guy 17 days to figure that his rectum was stapled shut?
