GARDEN CITY, New York – A New York doctor is demanding that his estranged wife pay him $1.5 million to compensate him for the kidney he gave her while they were still on good terms. Dr. Richard Batista spoke Wednesday to reporters at his lawyer’s office in Garden City, Long Island.
He said he gave his kidney to Dawnell Batista in June 2001. She filed for divorce in July 2005.
The 49-year-old Batista works for Nassau University Medical Center. The couple have three children, ages, 8, 11 and 14.
A message left for his wife’s attorney, Douglas Rothkopf, was not immediately returned. – AP GMAnews
