DESIRE FOR SLIM ANKLES
LEADS TO GIRL LOSING LEG. Paris, November 23. A pretty business girl about to marry, desiring to have -slimmer ankles, consulted a doctor, who recommended surgical treatment. A surgeon declared that a successful operation was feasible, consisting of the removal of a narrow strip of the calf. The anaesthetic failed and the girl was fully conscious during the operation, but after the wound was stitched and the girl sent to bed she began to suffer agony, necessitating a postponement of the operation on the other leg. The foot began to blacken and doctors advised that an amputation was essential to save her life. The girl’s financee was hurriedly called and the marriage eeremonv was performed at the bedside. Then the leg was amputated. The girl recovered, and is now suing the surgeon for £4OOO compensation.
