Brawling surgeons leave patient in the lurch

[janbo1960]

A routine appendix operation in Belgrade went badly wrong when two surgeons started fighting and stormed from the operating theatre to settle their dispute outside, a newspaper reports.

The daily Politika reports that surgeon Dr Spasoje Radulovic was operating when his colleague Dr Dragan Vukanic entered and made a remark that started a quarrel, the anesthesiologist on duty says.

"At one moment Vukanic pulled the ear of the operating doctor, slapped him in the face and walked out," she said.

Dr 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.

I heard this on Bob and Tom this morning. If there was ever a reason for a malpractice suit this is one!

I bet they were arguing over Proust.

Happens all the time!
