Talk About a Pound of Flesh!

From FOXNews.com:

New York doctor who gave his wife a kidney is suing her for $1.5 million — or the return of the vital organ — after he says she cheated on him with a physical therapist.

Richard Batista, 49, is demanding the sum in the middle of a messy divorce with his now-estranged wife, who suffered kidney ailments for years before the transplant.

The Long Island surgeon said he gave the gift of life to his wife in 2001, but things turned sour just two years later while she was recovering from a karate injury, the New York Post reported.

His wife, 44-year-old Dawnell Batista, had an affair with her physical therapist in 2003, he said. She recovered from the knee injury, but he says her low blow has him all out of joint.

This is wrong on so many levels. Obviously, the woman shouldn't have cheated on him, but when you give an organ for transplant, it's about altruism and caring. And the way I understand it, organ donors undergo a psychiatric evaluation prior to giving up the organ to ensure that they fully comprehend what they're doing.  I wonder if they ask, do you realize that you won't get this thing back? or if that's a given.  I'm sure the guy's angry and hurt, but what kind of person demands an organ back? And if he's a surgeon I'm sure he doesn't need the $1.5 million. You don't have to be a genius to realize that this is all about revenge, but wow.
