NEW YORK - NEVER mind the broken heart, a New York divorcee has told his ex - she'd better return his kidney.
Long Island surgeon Richard Batista says he donated one of his kidneys to his wife Dawnell Batista eight years ago and that she repaid the gift by cheating on him and filing for divorce, New York dailies reported.
Mr Batista's lawyer wants the kidney returned or US$1.5 million (S$2.22 million) compensation, the Post and Daily News reported.
Mr Batista says his ex's alleged affair 'put a hole in my heart that still exists', the Daily News reported.
'In theory we are asking for the return of the kidney,' Mr Batista's lawyer told the Post. 'Of course, he wouldn't really ask for that, but the value of it.' -- AFP
