A "new" anus? You mean they can transplant those these days?

Be sure to fill out your organ donor cards, everyone.

The article is just as good as the title. Clearly, Staff Reporter should win a Pulitzer.

surgery is a bit of a misnomer, it's more of a ripping

I ain't buying it. There're not enough details given to confirm. And much as you might want to think otherwise, we who work or have worked in the operating rooms know the difference between an asshole and a leg.

Yeah but the incontinent patient can now kick a football 40 yards right through the goal posts.

In case you were wondering what the do with the old anuses, they are quite the delicacy.

Seriously, if you can avoid getting medical treatment in Germany, you should. Socialized medicine is all well and good, but Germany's education system, especially its university system, including its medical education system, is bottom-barrel bad.

Couldn't they see the old one was working just fine? Wouldn't a incontinent anus be visually obvious? How sad to wake up with such a pain in the ass for no reason...

And her leg is still bad!!!! I'd be so pissed I would kill a docter. or two. Maybe three just to make sure it doesn't happen again.
