I'm rooting for the guy who donated his kidney (to be clear, this is not Perkin; Perkin only told me about the story and sent me the article LOL):
A Long Island surgeon embroiled in a four-year divorce proceeding wants his estranged wife to return the kidney he donated to her, although he says he'll settle for $1.5 million in compensation.Dr. Richard Batista told reporters at his lawyer's Long Island office Wednesday that he decided to go public with his demand for kidney compensation because he has grown frustrated with the negotiations with his estranged wife.
Batista claimed he has been prevented from seeing their children, ages, 8, 11 and 14, for months at a time. "This is my last resort; I did not want to do this publicly."
He said he gave his kidney to Dawnell Batista, now 44, in June 2001. She filed for divorce in July 2005, although he claims she began having an extramarital affair 18 months to two years after the kidney transplant, said his lawyer, Dominick Barbara.
