Husband killed by home sex-change....

FRIDAY OCTOBER 19 2001 Husband killed by home sex-change BY NICHOLAS WAPSHOTT A TRANSSEXUAL from Pittsburgh has been arrested for the murder of her husband - her sixth - after bungling a sex-change operation on him at their caravan home. Police were called to the trailer park in Marion, Pennsylvania, by Tammy Lynn Felbaum, born Tommy, who said that her husband had taken a drugs overdose. He died within an hour of being taken to hospital. The doctors assumed that James Felbaum had suffocated on his vomit, although they saw a small surgical cut in his scrotum. A post-mortem examination revealed that he had died from blood loss after being castrated. Mrs Felbaum, 42, told police that her husband had tried to castrate himself as the first step in a do-it-yourself sex-change operation. She knew that he was not doing it properly because she had undergone such an operation 20 years ago, so got her husband to write a consent note for her to perform the operation. After consulting books on anatomy and surgery, she set to work. Mrs Felbaum is charged with homicide, aggravated assault, reckless endangerment and unauthorised practise of medicine and surgery. Timothy McCune, the Butler County District Attorney, said: "You can't consent to a medical procedure being performed on you by someone who's not a medical doctor." He said that the Felbaums' caravan was not a suitable operating theatre because it lacked heat and water and was filled with waste from their two dogs, five cats and three birds. Mr McCune said he did not believe that Mrs Felbaum intended to kill her husband and that, if the case went to trial, he would seek a conviction for involuntary manslaughter. She might evade prosecution altogether if psychiatric reports decided that she was not fit to stand trial.
I wouldn't mind being the last man on earth-just to see if all of those girls were telling me the truth....

    That has to be the ULTIMATE do-it-yourself project.Maybe it was for situations like this that the phrase, "Don't try this at home," was coined.It doesn't take all kinds, there simply ARE all kinds.

    How about a charge of tampering with the U.S. Male? Sorry, old joke left over from Christene Jorgensen.

    Maybe these two should be nominated for "The Darwin Awards". Sounds like they have removed their DNA from the reproductive pool of the world.I did some research and this is indeed reported in the Post-Gazette newspaper in Butler County Pennsylvania, but on March 14,2001.[This message has been edited by Umpimahken (edited 10-21-2001).]

    What in the world was this lady thinking, everyone knows you have to control the bleeding. As a minimum she could have cauterized the incision, with a fire poker.But, since she didn't think about it, she should have at least put the needle and thread in her husbands hands, before calling the police.Seriously, this is sick.

    Right on, natural selection and survival of the fittest.No way your genes, can survive, when you start removing important parts.If Darwin was around, and met these people, imagine, what his read would be on this subject.

    I have a friend who used to work in the Chicago area. A co-worker of his underwent a sex change operation, and after healing-up and "becoming a woman", the guy/girl started an intimate relationship with a lesbian.The guy didn't want anything to do with women when he was a man. He could only be attracted to them in a homosexual relationship after changing into a woman himself.It's a sick world we live in.

    The silly cow should have forgotten the medical books and just called in a hog farmer.******************I had a doctor who was rumored to have done his own vasectomy.********************THen there's this story...from a medical journal....A guy showed up at the doctors office with with a hugely inflamed and swollen scrotum.During the examination he uncovered several large box staples along one side.The man simply stated that he had had an "accident".After a couple days in the hospital the guy finally told the real story.He worked in a factory using some type of belt driven machine. It was his custom to eat lunch alone next to his machine rather than going to the break room with the other employees.Once he was alone he would * by holding himself against the spinning belt. Apparently overcome by passion, his scrotum was snagged by the belt wheel ripping open his bag and completely severing one *.He retrieved his lost 'nad, stapled himself up with a box stapler, finished his shift and went home.He worked a couple more days til the pain became so bad that he had to seek help.
