The Chicago company Medline says it was a mistake that it’s $264 gastric bypass kit made for hospitals ended up for sale on Amazon.com.  Amazon removed the listing Monday and a company spokesperson encouraged people who bought the kit to return it for a refund and urged them not to try to perform gastric bypass surgery on themselves.

- Rats!  Now Oprah has to think of something else to give everyone in her audience during today’s taping!

- Luckily there are no reports of injuries since most of the patients knocked themselves out with anestheic before they had a chance to cut themselves open.

- To the company’s credit… they did include a copy of “Gastric Bypass Surgery For Dummies” in every box.

 

 

Have a great Wednesday and I’ll see you right back here tomorrow!
