Surgeons’ cut leaves British man ‘gay’

LONDON — A Leeds area man may file a lawsuit against doctors and a hospital after he went under the scalpel for a heart operation and, he told the media, came out “gay” via a tattoo on his leg, the Daily Mirror reported. In Leeds General Infirmary for a heart bypass operation, the man, whose name was not revealed by the Daily Mirror, said that during the surgery, doctors took part of a large vein out of his leg to replace a section of damaged artery in his chest. According to the tabloid, in order to get the vein, the doctors made an incision in the patient’s leg but did not notice the tattoo the man had on that leg. The tattoo, which said, “I love women” when the man went in for surgery, ended up reading “I love men” when he came out, the Daily Mirror reported. The man is considering a lawsuit against the hospital and doctors involved in the procedure.
