[moshquerade]

hey, no take backs, on some things. i guess all organ transplant recipients need to have a lawyer draw up a contract beforehand to avoid this. (yes, i do realize the wife sucks for what she did to him.)

Husband Wants Kidney Back from Wife

GARDEN CITY, N.Y. (AP/ WCBS 880) -- A New York doctor is demanding that his estranged wife pay him $1.5 million to compensate him for the kidney he gave her while they were still on good terms.

WCBS Reporter Sophia Hall talks with Dr. Richard Batista about why he wants the kidney back.

"She had an affair, then would not reconcile, then handed me divorce papers as I was going into surgery trying to save another person's life," said Batista.

He said he gave his kidney to Dawnell Batista in June 2001. She filed for divorce in July 2005.

The 49-year-old Batista works for Nassau University Medical Center. The couple have three children, ages, 8, 11 and 14.

A message left for his wife's attorney, Douglas Rothkopf, was not immediately returned.

She doesn't deserve that kidney. Cut it out of her.

 

[SagaLore]

She should take it out and hand it back to him in a paper bag. :evil:

 

[SunnyD]

Actually, kidneys are only worth about $60,000 or so. Look up the black market.

 

[SsupernovaE]

That should make them about even for the divorce. No 50-50.

He should let it go... if he goes after her, he might end up being thrown out of a window falling several stories and become paralyzed from the waste down and have no choice but to sell boxes for a living.

holy crap!!!!!! that was the exact thing I was about to type

Sounds like he's a surgeon..... obviously taking it back himself is the best choice.

 

[Wheezer]

LOL....what a dumb ass.

That is until he goes to Australia for a spirit walk, gets rejected because he can't actually walk, tries to fly back home, plane crashes on some weird ass island, and tada he can walk again.

Kill her, remove kidney, two problems solved.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Wow...what a douchebag.

 

[Shawn]

So, has anyone successfully had a donated kidney put back in?

 

[torpid]

I don't think divorce works that way. You split up assets at the time of divorce. You don't get to sue or demand reparations for every small or large gift you gave. "I demand $600 from you because that's what I paid to take us to French Laundry on the third date. Pay up!!"

 

[AstroManLuca]

They should take the kidney from her and give it to someone who deserves it.

Yeah, he's a real douchebag for giving his wife a kidney and being cheated on afterward. The nerve of some people.

She owed him, at least, the honesty of divorcing him without cheating on him if she wasn't in love with him any longer.

Maybe he's saying that not because of the info given in the article, but because he's a surgeon.

Ask a med student...they'll confirm.

Why do you think he doesn't mean the wife?

Remind me to put "Internal organs" in my prenup.

He gave her a kidney and the guy still wanted to reconcile (I think unless I'm reading the article wrong) but she divorced him anyway and at an inopportune moment (which she may or may not have had control over).. I'd be pretty pissed and can see why he'd be pissed.

I wonder how it got so bad.

 

[lyssword]

It's like John Locke from LOST

 

[Cdubneeddeal]

It's funny how people are once a breakup happens. Emotions over rule logic.

 

[MyThirdEye]

Seems like the only logical thing to do.

Bitch deserves to not have they kidney. Should take it from her without any anesthesia so she feels every once of pain.
