It’s practically an urban legend: A man blacks out after meeting a woman for a drink at a bar. When he comes to, he finds himself naked in a hotel bathtub covered with ice. And there’s a throbbing ache in his side. A hand-scrawled sign blares the bad news: “Go to the ER right away!”
He suddenly realizes: His kidney is gone.
