Yes people, it is an old topic, BUT a new article. It is talking about how the patient is suing. Or something like that. I was too bored to read the whole article.

Dublin Lawyer
Serves 2

1125g (2½lb) Fresh Lobster
150ml (¼ pint) Cream
4 tbsp Irish Whiskey
3 tbsp Butter
Salt and Black Pepper

Cut the lobster in two down the centre.
Remove all the meat, including the claws, retain the shell for serving.
Cut the meat into chunks.
Heat the butter until foaming and quickly sauté the lobster chunks in it, until just cooked but not coloured.
Warm the whiskey slightly, pour over the lobster and set fire to it.
Add the cream, mix with the pan juices, and taste for seasoning.
Put back into the half shells and serve hot.

Watching Connie Chung is like watching a 6 year old in a big cardboard box with a hole cut out, pretending it's a television, and interviewing Mr. Bear and Mrs. Penguin

There was a story here in LA (OK, San Fernando Valley) a couple years ago about a woman who was in labor and was told that the only way the anesthesiologist was going to work was if she came up with $400. Cash. Then and there. She offered check, credit card, asked to be billed, and was kindly directed to the ATM machine in the lobby. Seems that the insurance companies had decided that an anesthesiologist only gets $25 for said procedure, so they were just trying to make it worth his while.

Sometimes, you gotta do what you gotta do. Like this one time I was in the middle of sex, when I realized I needed to cash a check. So I left, cashed the check, then went back to the hooker, who was relieved I remembered I had no money yet, and finished up.

Cmon people, those greens fees don't pay for themselves...
 
2002-12-08 04:08:41 AM
Ka-CHING.
 
2002-12-08 04:10:54 AM
Hey, wait--the article is sort of new. Maybe a "follow up" tag would have been better.
It's not the old article. Did anyone even read this?
 
2002-12-08 04:15:20 AM
Mr. Algeri looks a little scary...
 
2002-12-08 04:28:31 AM
Yeah this is some old shiat. The fark server must be broken tastes like chicken... Oh, and this guy beatup a woman or somthing a few days after this.
 
2002-12-08 04:34:30 AM
Even if it's a new article, the headline gives false impressions. Honestly, who let this slide? Someone is slacking off up there!
 
2002-12-08 04:45:05 AM
Y'all are some jaded farkers.
 
2002-12-08 04:55:19 AM
This wouldn't happen in Canada. Our doctors don't make any money in the first place.

She is so retarded. "...what were you thinking and feeling inside..."? Is she doing a Sesame Street interview?
 
2002-12-08 05:11:08 AM
Christ, this is SO old news.

The term "Jumping the shark" = jumping the shark.

That said:

A month ago,

Fark.com = jumping the shark.

Now,

Fark.com = jumping the shark, jumping the shark, jumping the shark.

Every one of these idiotic, outdated posts that gets past the mods just adds another nail in the coffin. Alas, it was fun while it lasted.

Tighten it up, mods.

The original incident of the doctor leaving to cash his check happened July 10th, but, for those of you who don't read articles, the lawsuit filed by the patient is a more recent development.
I hope the guy wins, and the doctor should lose his license to practice.
 
2002-12-08 06:02:13 AM
ahahahaha... that's hilarious.
can you imagine that dude sitting in the room, in the middle of surgery... then everyone walks out, and he wakes up in the darkened room.
"hello...? um... is anyone there?"
 
2002-12-08 07:26:37 AM
You are all biatchy, whiney little babies who have nothing better to do than to cry about repeat articles when you didn't even look into what you're biatching about.
This is NOT the same article.
And for those of you who say that Fark is dying... I want to see you do better.

/troll

Seriously now. I once had a dentist leave me when he was doing a few fillings, and I laid there with these support things in my mouth, drooling on myself while the guy talked and laughed in the next room, all while the hot nurse just watched me drool helplessly. How humiliating... but I guess spinal cord damage is a little more severe than the embarassment of me drooling on myself. That taught me to brush after meals.
 
2002-12-08 08:06:25 AM
The doctor did this AGAIN?
 
2002-12-08 08:54:30 AM
Chung: so when did you start feeling the back pain?

Algeri: about five minutes after the phone call i realised i could cash in... *cough* i mean realised i was getting twinges.

Fruitcake Recipe
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
4 large eggs
2 cups dried fruit
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup brown sugar
lemon juice
nuts
1 gallon whiskey

Sample the whiskey to check for quality. Take a large bowl. Check the
whiskey again to be sure it is of the highest quality. Pour one level
cup and drink. Repeat. Turn on the electric mixer; beat 1 cup butter in
a large, fluffy bowl.

Add 1 teaspoon sugar and beat again. Make sure the
whiskey is still OK. Cry another tup. Turn off mixer. Break 2 legs and
add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit.

Mix on the turner.

If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers, pry it loose with a
drewscriver. Sample the whiskey to check for tonsisticity. Next, sift 2
cups of salt. Or something. Who cares? Check the whiskey. Now sift
the
lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add one table. Spoon. Of sugar or
something. Whatever you can find. Grease the oven. Turn the cake tin
to
350 degrees. Don't forget to beat off the turner. Throw the bowl out of
the window. Check the whiskey again. Go to bed. Who in their right
mind
likes fruitcake anyway?
 
2002-12-08 09:32:59 AM
The only way this should have been posted is with an obvious tag and a headline like "Asshat doctor that left surgery sued." Duh, and who cares.
 
2002-12-08 09:44:24 AM
Headline should have read:

"Farker surgeon leaves patient in the middle of surgery to go to Fark and post a link to a story which is six months old."
 
2002-12-08 10:04:24 AM
Tom Clancy's "Red Rabbit" has this sort of incident in it, where British doctors go out for lunch in the middle of surgery. Stupid public heathcare.
 
2002-12-08 12:01:08 PM
The story gets better. The Dr. in question is also being accused of diddling. He is so farked it's funny. I question why this guy is suing. To see the patient on the news he seems like a faking asswipe. He did an interview with his lawyer several days after this story broke and his lawyer said there were no residual effects of being left on the table. No damage done, you were knocked out when it happened, you were'nt sexually violated or hurt in any way. So what is your lawsuit you farking leeching prick?
 
2002-12-08 12:12:30 PM
The term 'Jumped the shark' has jumped the shark.

fine--i give up;)

The term "Jump the Shark" jumped the shark when it was explained on television by mainstream news anchors.

The truth hurts.
 
2002-12-08 04:21:42 PM
Old Rodney Dangerfield joke. "My doctor left in the middle of open heart surgery. Said it was an emergency"
 
2002-12-08 05:42:48 PM
Must be a slow news day for CNN to rehash a story that ran on JULY 10th!!!!

Must be an even slower news day for a story that happened July 10th, to be re-posted here five months later.

Hey! Heads up people...Kennedy has been shot!
 
2002-12-08 07:22:13 PM
saying "the term 'jumping the shark' has jumped the shark" has jumped the shark you guys.
 
2002-12-08 09:43:32 PM
REPEAT! REPEAT! REPEAT!
 
2002-12-09 03:00:57 AM
The only think more annoying than a repeated post is 300 morons yelling "REPEAT" in the comments!! Lamers.
