US man sues after 'ear lands in trash'
07:36 AEST Sat Nov 21 2009
A New York man is giving city authorities and a Bronx hospital an earful
for allegedly tossing his ear in the trash after it was ripped off by a
dog, the Daily News reports.
Eduardo Garcia, 67, has filed a lawsuit alleging that ambulance staff
threw away a large chunk of his ear in May last year, despite having
initially put it on ice when he was attacked by his son's bull terrier.
"They deprived him of an opportunity to have treatment," Garcia's lawyer
was quoted as saying. "Now he's got a deformity."
The hospital says the ear was discarded because reattaching it would
have been too risky for the patient.

So, I'm guessing the dog owner's pockets weren't deep enough?
