TPS, I would guess that the patient who should have had the new anus had an anus like goatse, for whatever reason. It does say that she was suffering from 'incontinence' so presumably she was leaking shit like a broken sewer. So they probably did something like sew surgical thread round the edge of it and then pull it reeeallly tight, like a drawstring bag, and tied it off.
That's how I'd do it, anyway.
Where's wilder when you need her to explain all about bum-hole operations?
If "opinions are like assholes - everyone has one", then the lady with 2 assholes deserves a second opinion.
Did you hear about the woman who went in for a leg operation but came out with a new anus? Well, she's not suing because she loves using the bathroom standing up too much.
Why do they call the woman who went for a leg operation but mistakenly got a new anus "Captain Morgan"?
Because now she poos standing up (make "got a little Captain in ya" gesture).
A new anus? As in the old one was wearing out, but I got kind of attached to it so I thought, hey, I should get another. Like as a spare. So maybe now she has two.
And with two exit doors, no one could accuse her of being full of shit.
This just in: one of the fired surgical staff at the hospital has been identified as one Dr. Benway. The doctor was overheard saying on his way out to post-op, "Of course she needed a new one. The old one had started to talk. I've seen what happens when they do - it's a literary disaster. Well, it's all in a days work." He walks across the room to a medicine cabinet... "Some fucking drug addict has cut my cocaine with Saniflush! Nurse! Send the boy out to fill this RX on the double!"
