An undercover Florida policeman says he went to hospital for sinus surgery that required a shot of painkiller, but instead the syringe was filled with make-up glitter.
Even the lawyer for Florida Hospital in Orlando, Orange County, called the case exquisitely bizarre. It has not been exquisite for the undercover officer, who says that, ever since the injection, he has been plagued by health problems, the website of channel WFTV 9 reports.
Lawyers for the undercover deputy say it was cosmetic glitter, injected into muscles of his hip. The officer had gone to the hospital for sinus surgery in October 2000. Nurses were supposed to inject him with Demerol. But one shot, he said, didn't make him feel better.
"There was a lot of pain. I complained several times that something was wrong in my buttock, hip, in the area I got the shot," said the deputy, whose identity has been suppressed.
Three months later, he had a 10-centimetre by 10-centimetre lump near the injection site. It took surgery to remove it. An analysis determined there was "green and red sparkling material" around the mass. In other words, glitter.
The deputy continues to have health problems. He walks with a limp and has been treated in hospital 12 more times. He is suing the hospital.C'mon now, I've got nothing against you. You were helpful when I fell out of bed then tripped over the wading pool and broke my arm; you were very calming as you helped stitch me up after I got hit by that car, and you brought me back when I fainted after having my wisdom teeth removed.
But please, before you come even one step closer or get back to whinging about poor pay and no recognition for your intense and chellenging work, please memorise this diagram and learn it well:
'Nuff said.
