temp tattz


i got a call from fox earlier asking if we had a medical ethicist here to talk to them on the news about a doctor putting a 'temporary tattoo' on a patient and had NO idea what the reporter was talking about (which made me/my office look really bad since it was in the inquirer this morning, which i, in fact, carried into the office.)

anyway. i looked into it, and now that i do know what it is, this is weird as hell and i wish there was a picture. its a virtua orthopedic surgeon, who apparently luvs putting temp tattz on people. i find this hilarious. however, this lady is filing a lawsuit. apparently, she is nottt a fan of temporary tattoos.

Article: Surgeon sued for giving anesthetized patient temporary tattoo.

personally, i think it would rule to wake up with a sick tatt after surgery. but, what goes a little too far, is where it was...back surgery, and it sounds like the tattoo was probably on her hip. so weird.

I think I would be nothing other than thrilled if this were to happen to me.
