BELGRADE (Reuters) - A routine appendix operation in Belgrade went badly wrong when two surgeons started fighting and stormed from the operating theater to settle their dispute outside, the daily Politika reported Wednesday. Surgeon Spasoje Radulovic was operating when his colleague Dragan Vukanic entered and made a remark that started a quarrel, said the anesthesiologist on duty.
"At one moment Vukanic pulled the ear of the operating doctor, slapped him in the face and walked out," she said.
Radulovic followed and an all-out fight ensued, resulting in bruises, a split lip, loose teeth and a fractured finger.
The operation was completed successfully by the attending assistant doctor.

That would have been awesome if they started fighting using the body parts. The story would continue:

"Dr. Radulovic then grabbed the patient's intestines and pulled them out, wrapping them around the neck of Dr. Vukanik in an attempt at strangling him. Vukanic's flailing arms then grabbed the liver and swung it up, whipping the side of Radulovic's face. In a cunning finale, Radulovic deftly yanked a specific muscular tendon in the sleeping patient's thigh, which caused the patient to execute an involuntary roundhouse kick, effectively knocking out Vukanic."

Well done Rk, maybe they should have a pay for view operation fight. Have a couple of wrestlers as doctors performing a sex change.

GARDEN CITY, N.Y. - Police called to a suburban family's home encountered a stomach-churning scene: dozens of urine-filled bottles strewn amid animal feces, soiled toilet paper and trash piled several feet high.
The discovery at the white, two-story Cape Cod-style house was made after authorities were summoned by a man embroiled in a bitter divorce; his estranged wife lived there with their three children.
"The stench would drop you to your knees," the estranged husband, Raymond Young Jr., told reporters Wednesday after leading them on a tour of the home he once shared with Deborah Young and their daughters, ages 10, 12 and 14.
A judge scheduled a hearing Friday to consider a request by the husband's attorney to have the children removed from their mother's custody. A Suffolk County police spokeswoman also confirmed that the case had been referred to Child Protective Services.
"No one can live in the house," attorney Joseph Quatela said. "There are hundreds of bottles filled with urine, there are stacks 4 or 5 foot high of used toilet paper."
Quatela said the Youngs' divorce proceedings began in 2003. Deborah Young, who reportedly was visiting her parents in upstate New York, told Newsday in Thursday editions that her husband had no right to be inside the house.
Asked about her estranged husband's claims, she said, "Well, I don't know how much of any mess might be mine and how much they did. Raymond Young Jr., a diesel mechanic at his father's heating oil delivery business, was paying for oil deliveries to the house as part of his divorce agreement, Quatela said.
Beginning in November, oil deliverers noticed that the tank remained full each time they came to make a delivery. In the past several weeks, Quatela said his client began receiving reports that his ex-wife and children were sitting in a vehicle in their driveway — sometimes for hours at a time, leading him to suspect there was no heat in the home.
"This is not a financial issue," Quatela said. "He has always supported his children."
Dennis Novak of Suffolk County's Family and Children Services unit, said policy prevented him from confirming any investigation, but did concede the police department was required to make a referral whenever an allegation of child abuse is made. He said when there is an allegation, an investigator is dispatched to the home within 24 hours to initiate an investigation.
Investigators seek to determine if children are receiving basic shelter, sanitation and heat. When it is determined there is a safety hazard, or a parent is unwilling or unable to remedy the situation, cases may eventually be referred to family court and in extreme situations the children could be removed from the home.

OK, how (and more importantly, WHY) do four women fill bottles with urine????

Something doesn't make sense here. Unless hubby is setting them up, how did this get this far with no one noticing? And if hubby isn't setting them up, isn't this a cry for better paternal rights??
