Till Death (Or Transplanted Kidney) Do Us Part

Rating: 2.7


Dr. Richard Battista gave his wife, Dawnell, a gift of life,
He gave her one his kidneys to help sustain her,
After all she was his wife,
But later,
She wanted a divorce from him, he felt betrayed.
He felt that she had strayed,
Out the commitment she gave to him,
As part of the negotiations of the dissolution of the doomed marriage,
He now expects a monetary compensation for his “gift”.
It’s now to the lawyers to sand and sift.
He is now asking $1.5 million dollars to be exact.
A bargain, Madoff would think.
Has society gone too far to think everything has a price?
Did she have an agreement with him to pay him back for this “gift”?
Did he ever hear of a person being charged with a frivolous lawsuit?
Many more questions to ask; too little time.
The doctor’s response through and through,
Was,
'There's no deeper pain or betrayal from somebody you loved and devoted your whole life to, '
