Late in the surgery the surgeon realized he took off the wrong leg. He also know the remaining, bad leg would kill the woman so he had no choice but to remove that one as well. Later the woman was in recovery and was told of the mistake. She called her lawyer who came by. She told him the problem and said "I'm going to sue that bastard surgeon for all he's worth". The lawyer replied "You don't have a leg to stand on.". A woman had an infected leg, so bad they had to amputate. Late in the surgery the surgeon realized he took off the wrong leg.
