Tales of the weird…

A woman goes in for surgery to have excess flabby skin removed. Instead (actually, in addition) the surgeon moved some of the tissue to her breasts, thus performing an impromptu but apparently quite impressive breast augmentation. The woman sued and was awarded $1 million plus.

The interesting thing (besides the obvious weirdness factor) is that the appellate court threw out the $250k limit set by state law for medical malpractice claims, saying that the operation went beyond malpractice and was an act of battery.

The article does not state whether she had the augmentation removed.
