We've all the read the news accounts about people who have had the "wrong" part removed, such that now, they still have to have the "bad" part removed, that was intended for amputation in the first place. Just imagine the lawsuit!

Undefined Compensation

Amputated the wrong leg
Cut off the wrong breast,
If life is a lesson
Then this is a test,
We'll proceed with forgiveness
As we march to the court,
They took off the good parts
And now they're selling us short.

Removed the wrong hand
Took out the wrong eye,
You might call this living
But we want to die,
We'll proceed with forgiveness
But these Doctors must pay,
They took off the good parts
And that's not OK.

Each side will gather lawyers
And medical scholars,
To define compensation
In a matter of dollars,
But you can't say we're happy
With the settlement planned,
It's tough to applause
When you don't have hand.
