If This MTF Patient Never Did Her 'At-Home Exercises,' Can She Blame the Doc?

If you're a plastic surgeon who performs gender reassignment surgery on a patient, are you at fault when the patient deems the surgery as a "failure"? Some 18 years after you last saw each other in the operating room, the jury is still out.

Or rather, the Calcutta High Court is still out.

In India, Uchchas Biswas alias Tampi, at age 19, went to Dr. Shankar Sarkar in 1990 to consult about a male-to-female reassignment procedure. In 1991, the surgery took place. Four years later, Biswas started a formal complaint.
