It doesn’t take a doctor to figure out how to eat an artichoke.
Oh wait, apparently, it does.
Arturo Carvajal, a doctor in Miami, is suing a restaurant because he had to go to the hospital to get artichoke leaves removed from his stomach after he ate the ENTIRE ARTICHOKE!
The genius mediocre doctor is suing the restaurant chain for an unspecified amount of money, claiming:
“bodily injury, resulting pain and suffering, disability, disfigurement, mental anguish, loss of capacity for the enjoyment of life, medical and nursing care and treatment, and aggravation of pre-existing conditions.”
The suit alleges that the server never asked if Carvajal knew how to eat an artichoke and that the restaurant had a “duty to train its table servers to explain the proper method of consuming an artichoke.”
This may be true, but as a doctor, we think you have a duty to be somewhat intelligent.
The restaurant chain’s VP and general counsel feels kind of bad about the whole thing, but said:
“It’s just kind of a silly notion… What’s next? Are we going to have to post warnings on our menu they shouldn’t eat the bones in our barbeque ribs?├óΓé¼┬¥
How insensitive! Don’t worry, doctor, we once had a similar complaint against Kellogg’s.
There were no directions how to open the cereal box, so we just ate through the cardboard.
Luckily, there were no complications in our stomach that needed any medical attention, but don’t even get us started on that time we ate an apple core!
What do U think? Does this guy deserve some compensation or should he go back to medical school?
