cutter arrested in botched castration

[Falcon (imported)]

Yesterday, Doug Lenhart, of the Pittsburgh suburbs, was arrested after a castration he was performing went badly wrong. Many of you have seen his postings as "pghchemist" or other screen names. I met Doug in person, and he seemed very level headed and very well versed in the procedures. However, something about him seemed not entirely kosher, so I decided to be cautious. Good thing I did. The URL posted will take you to an article about Doug being arrested after the castration of a transgender person went wrong and the individual ended up in a suburban Pittsburgh hospital.

This is a very short article, I suspect there will be more info in the local media in the next couple days. Curiously, Tammy Feldbaum, a truly looney transsexual is doing time for a botched castration she performed a couple years ago outside Pittsburgh. In Tammy's case, the subject died. Fortunately, in this case, the person survived. I guess you have to give Doug credit for getting immediate medical care, but wow............

Hats off to Riverwind, Andrew, et.al., for their advice about using real medical professionals!!

I'll post URL's of any more stories. I suspect there will be some lurid ones.

THERE SHOULD NOT BE A SPACE BEFORE "20010314" ETC IN THE URL.

IF ANY OF OUR HELPFUL MODERATORS CAN FIX IT, I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL !!
