Long Island doctor Richard Batista to estranged wife: Give me my kidney back
Doctor Wants Kidney Back As Part of Divorce
A 49-year-old New York surgeon donated one of his kidneys to his wife eight years ago. But she repaid the gift by cheating on him. Now he is heading to court to get his kidney back, or the compensation of the kidney, 1.5 million dollars, as divorce settlement.
Shylock is the Jewish moneylender in Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice". In the play, he contracts with the merchant Antonio that Antonio allows Shylock to take a pound of his flesh if he will be unable to repay his loan by the specified date. Antonio fails to satisfy the bond, and so Shylock requires his flesh. But Shylock is not allowed to shed any drop of Antonio's blood and he forfeits his lands and goods under Venetian laws.
Will the doctor win the case in court? Maybe, he has to get his kidney back without shedding any drop of her blood.
Of course, I sympathize with the poor doctor than Shylock. He is as miserable as the Bridgestone dog.
