BALTIMORE – A man alleging a Maryland doctor stapled his rectum shut during an operation — causing him to go without defecating for 17 days — took his federal lawsuit to trial Monday in Baltimore.

Ronald Watkins, 64, of West Virginia, is suing Manuel Casiano, a doctor in Frederick County, for allegedly botching a 2004 surgery that left Watkins with permanent bowel problems.

“The reason for suing Dr. Casiano is very simple: His rectum was stapled shut,” said Julia Lodowski, who with attorney Emily Malarkey is representing Watkins and his wife, Brenda.

Lodowski told jurors in U.S. District Court that Watkins now experiences “rectal discharge” and needs to wipe himself between 12 and 15 times a day.

This thread won't end well. Let's just nip it in the butt.
 
17 days without poo?

Im no doctor but the guy would definitely be septic, and possibly beyond sick.

Not necessarily. No reason it would make you septic, although when you're full enough it will start coming out the top end!
 
If the guy is looking for a non-surgical solution, I'd suggest the guy head over to Ryan's Steakhouse for dinner.

Your avatar suddenly has a whole new meaning...

While that story is utterly disgusting, I just LOL'd so hard I woke up the house :D (*Lunja stands and claps*)

EDIT: I'm refering to rdown's link, not the butt-stapled-shut story. I only lol'd a little at that...
 
wow, this kinda reminds me of that skit on the wu-tang 36 chambers album.

method man song:

I'll f***in
sew your a**hole closed, and keep feedin you
and feedin you, and feedin you, and feedin you
 
Hum, if such a thing happen to me, after 1 day I would have gone back to the doctor to fix the problem, why would someone wait 2+ weeks? What a moron.

I guess there are lots people in the DC, Virginia with low IQ (I live here right now, hopefully not for long).
 
And how the hell did he not notice that his butt was stapled shut before he left the hospital? And why couldn't he go back to get the staples removed?
