A "medical man" in China is being sued by a patient over a prescription the patient got from the "doc."
The prescription: Eat raw frog six times a day. (Doesn't that bring back fond memories of high school biology class, when we got to pin frogs down and cut them up? Does that make us sound like nascent serial killers? So be it.)
The patient, named Chen, made it through 130 frogs before he almost croaked. He was then found to have parasites crawling through his body, little critters that had been feeding off the frogs.
Very much like the patient. But the parasites didn't sue.
