Berlin - A German court has awarded 3,000 euros ($4,100) in damages to a man who had to have the top of his skull replaced with plastic because of a faulty hospital fridge.

Doctors removed the top of the man's head and put it in cold storage while they operated on his brain.

Because the refrigerator was defective, the section of skull was not kept cool enough and could not be reattached. Doctors replaced the bone with a plastic prosthesis.

The man sought compensation of at least 20,000 euros on the grounds that the prosthesis caused him headaches, affected his balance and made him unduly sensitivity to the weather.

The experts consulted by the court concluded the new skull roof was better than the original.
go

They shoulda just gave him the 20,000.

let them try !

Yeah, I wonder what they experts would have done had the same thing happened to them?

I'd have asked for antenna to come out of mine that glowed green, then I'd have agreed better.
