Crazy stories from Portland…

Three people died after receiving a lethal injection of colchicine at the Center for Integrative Medicine in Portland to treat back pain. No big deal, ApotheCure Inc., the company who manufactures the drug, said “an employee made a weighing error in the creation of the drug.”

If that’s not crazy enough, imagine having a doctor snip off the tip of your penis at age 12. The Oregon Supreme Court has been briefed, no pun intended, on details of this case, but they have yet to decide whether or not they will take it. Long story short, no pun intended, after his divorce, a man converted to Judaism and now wishes to have his 12-year-old son circumcised. The man claims his son also wishes to convert to Judaism and understands this involves some sacrifices, no pun intended. The mother of this child is fighting the Portland court’s initial decision, which sided with the father due to custody of the child, saying her son is too scared to stand up to his father, no pun intended.

A Portland woman is suing a paramedic who posted details of the victims rape on his Myspace page. The woman is claiming her privacy was violated, he claims he was just trying to warn other women. One thing is for sure, he will not be in her “top 8.”
