Dont lose your head...
Its not worth much!
BERLIN (Reuters) - A German court has awarded 3,000 euros ($4,100) in damages to a man who had to have the top of his skull replaced with plastic because of a faulty hospital fridge. Doctors removed the top of the man's head and put it in cold storage while they operated on his brain, the court in the western city of Koblenz said Tuesday. Because the refrigerator was defective, the section of skull was not kept cool enough and could not be reattached. Doctors replaced the bone with a plastic prosthesis. The man sought compensation of at least 20,000 euros on the grounds that the prosthesis caused him headaches, affected his balance and made him unduly sensitivity to the weather. Following consultations with experts, the court found that the operation had caused the man's discomfort, not the loss of the top of his skull. Compensation of 3,000 euros was "appropriate and sufficient," it said. "The experts consulted by the court concluded the new skull roof was better than the original," a court spokesman said.

Re: Dont lose your head...
I havent looked into the case, but id imagine he still has his scalp and the plastic skull isnt visible or anything.
Id imagine the difference between the plastic skull and his origional skull is unoticable to him. Something doesnt sit right with me. I dont like him getting so little, but at the same time i see no justifcation for him getting more (if anything).
