Ya get what ya pay for

Free surgery leaves boy brain dead.

A 16-year-old Russian boy found a hospital halfway around the world willing to remove his brain tumor for free. His father says there was one condition — that his treatment could be filmed for a feel-good story by a local television station about the charitable operation. But the positive story St. Anthony Hospital and neurosurgeon Paul Francel hoped to tell became tragic when the surgery left David Kurbanov brain dead. Now his anguished father is lashing out at the hospital and hoping for a miracle recovery.

or never trust Russians…

    Yeah, there’s a billboard on the way back to la on the 10 that advertises lasik for “ONLY $399 PER EYE!” Like that’s the kind of thing you want to look for bargains on.
