Top 5-Surgeons leave 16 items behind in patient's body-Wow what an operation?
The family of a now-deceased German man claims surgeons left 16 items in his body following prostate cancer surgery. A lawyer for Helmut Brecht said a needle, compresses and surgical strips were removed from his client's body. The items were discovered after Brecht didn't heal properly after his 2009 surgery. Brecht, 77, died last year and his family is looking for $106,216 in damages from the hospital that performed the surgery. The
hospital has rejected the family's claims and said the items couldn't have been left in Brecht's body because the equipment wasn't used at the hospital. A hospital spokesman also said the compensation request is too high.
Top 4-Red Bull energy drink too weak -Then why drink them?
NEW YORK - Red Bull, the popular energy drink whose slogan is “gives you wings,” provides no more energy than a cup of coffee or a caffeine pill, according to a lawsuit made public on Wednesday. The lawsuit claims that Red Bull uses deceptive marketing
to charge a premium for a product whose claims are largely unfounded. “Defendants are able to charge and get a substantial premium for their products over readily available and much lower priced sources of caffeine that provide the same or substantially similar results,” the lawsuit said.
Energy drinks like Red Bull have become increasingly popular in recent years, but have also faced increased scrutiny. In October, the Food and Drug Administration said it was investigating reports of five deaths that may be associated with the Monster energy drink, made by Monster Beverage Corp. The lawsuit against Red Bull was filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and was made public Wednesday. The lead plaintiff is Benjamin Careathers of the Bronx, New York, who has been drinking Red Bull since 2002, according to the lawsuit. It cited recent reports in the scientific journal Nutrition Reviews and in The New York Times casting doubt on claims made by makers of energy drinks.

Top 2.1-Doctor French kissed women while sedated (Crazy doctor)
TORONTO — a retired teacher testified Thursday that she recalls Dr. George Doodnaught French kissing her while she was under light sedation for a knee replacement operation at North York General Hospital in 2008. Now 61, the woman is one of 21 patients who allege the anesthesiologist sexually assaulted them behind the sterile surgical drape that separated their head and upper body from the rest of the surgical team during their operations.
Doodnaught, 64, has pleaded not guilty to attacking the patients between 2006 and 2010. The teacher described Doodnaught as "very reassuring" and "very kind" when he introduced himself in the hallway before her knee operation. She was given an epidural and sedation. "The next thing I remember is the sensation of being French kissed. I remember feeling a tongue being inserted and I remember I couldn't open my eyes, I couldn't move," she testified. "This was a very experienced French kisser." She later asked her son and daughter-in-law, both veterinary surgeons, whether the surgical drugs could have caused a hallucination of being French kissed.
Top 1-Students caught on camera having intercourse at safe sex ball (what a time to do this?)
An investigation is under way at one of Britain's top universities after students were alleged to have been caught having intercourse on camera during a safe sex ball. The University of Exeter's students' guild has begun to look into the incident after footage from the event, during which an apparently naked couple appear to be having sex, was circulated on the internet. The charity event was held just before Christmas. A union spokesman said in a statement: "The students' guild recognises that confidential CCTV footage has been filmed without our permission.
The guild is making sure the affected parties will be supported during this difficult time. “Measures were in place to provide high levels of security, but we are aware that irresponsible behaviour has taken place and we are working hard to rectify the situation. “A full investigation is under way in which action proportionate to the seriousness of the situation will be taken. “The university said it would be making no further comment. Devon and Cornwall Police today confirmed it had no plans to investigate the matter because a complaint of alleged criminal activity had not been made.The University of Exeter recently accepted an invitation to join the Russell Group, which represents the UK's leading research-intensive institutions, while it has also been named in the top ten of several recent "good university" guides.
