Tourist gets 'legless' on holiday

A German holidaying in Costa Rica woke up in an airport lounge to find one of his legs had been amputated.

Ronald Jurisch had gone to a doctor when his leg was swollen. Medics doped him up, cut off his leg, and then deposited him at the airport to return home.

"My suitcases were by my side and then I realised my leg was missing. When I checked my wallet I found that 375 dollars (£200) had been taken out and replaced with a receipt for the amputation," he said. Jurisch, 50, plans to sue.
