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.

“The clinic in Hochfranken, Bavaria, has since suspended the surgical team.

Knowing how socialized medicine works...
the “traumatized” surgical team and their families have probably
been sent off to some beach location like Miami in order to rest and
recuperate from this sad trauma (that they perpetrated on this poor woman).”

The surgical team of Hochfranken are going to have to “hoch” their “Frankens” to pay the damages for this one!
