QUIRKY WORLD ... Patient warns surgeon not to get carried away

SCOTLAND: A concerned circumcision surgery patient made sure the operation went to plan — by penning a note to the doctor on his thigh before going under anaesthetic.

Sixty-year-old Sandy Paton used a felt-tip pen to write ’remember, not the whole knob, just the foreskin!’ on his leg before going in for surgery.

Sandy, from just outside Insch in Aberdeenshire, decided to write the memo moments before he was wheeled into the operating theatre at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, the Daily Mail reports.
