In Argentina, Jorge Baseto went under the knife for gallbladder surgery. Initially, the procedure was to happen on Tuesday but ended up being delayed a day. On Wednesday, hospital staff came into his room without asking him a question and wheeled him away for his surgery…but instead, it was a vasectomy. When Baseto woke from surgery, he was told his vasectomy was a success. At first, there was a moment of speechlessness and then panic. The gallbladder surgery ended up being successful, but the vasectomy is said to be irreversible. Now, there’s a possibility of litigation, as Baseto was hoping to have a child with his new girlfriend, and artificial insemination is the only option available to him.
