Temporary Tattoo Leads To Lawsuit

071708rosetattoo.jpg

Hey, here’s the absolutely strange story of the (yester)day: A New Jersey woman is suing a surgeon for putting a temporary tattoo on a patient. Wait, what?

In a lawsuit filed yesterday, a Camden County woman accused her orthopedic surgeon of “rubbing a temporary tattoo of a red rose” on her belly while she was under anesthesia.

The patient discovered the tattoo below the panty line the next morning, when her husband was helping her get dressed to go home after the operation for a herniated disc, her attorney, Gregg A. Shivers, said in a phone interview yesterday.

Even if no harm is meant, putting a mark on a patient for fun is probably not something a doctor should be doing. Fortunately, lawsuits always resolve fairly and everything will probably work out. Er, wait.

    Maybe a Thumbs Up tattoo would have been better?
