Patient accused of biting off doctor's fingertip

WTF?

Oh, things are not always what they seem... years ago my husband was injured at work- a piece of machinery bit a big chunk out of his leg- and he subsequently ended up in the ER. The doc there had the WORST bedside manner possible, he started pressing down on my husband's leg, near the wound, getting closer and closer to the bloody crater in his shin; all the while stating "This doesn’t hurt", "This doesn't hurt" over and over until he got to the actual wound. (Funny, I always assumed that during an exam the doctor is trained to ask you where you hurt) When he pressed down on THAT, my husband came up off of the exam table, arm cocked back to deliver a full-body roundhouse... at that point I stepped into my spouse's arm for a big ol' hug fiercely whispering "Don't you DARE!" He had planned to state, as he connected with the doc's face, "That doesn’t hurt!" I think I will keep an open mind on this event, especially since I cannot fathom as to just HOW the patient got his choppers on the doc’s digits to begin with.
