A guy goes to the hospital with an infection in his leg It has gotten so bad that they decide the only course of action is to amputate the leg. So they put the guy under and perform the surgery. When he wakes up, he immediately realizes that they had amputated the wrong leg. He is furious, but they obviously still have to amputate the infected leg. So they put him under and amputate his other leg. When he wakes up, he immediately calls his lawyer to discuss the blatant malpractice. However, he was shocked when he found out he couldn't even sue the hospital. He didn't have a leg to stand on.
