Medic Sued For Swiping Foot From Crash Victim

Cynthia "Cindy" Economou had no idea taking Karl Lambert's foot would end up being such a big deal, after all it wasn't even attached when she took it. Now Lambert is suing the paramedic for taking his severed foot from the scene of his crash to train her body recovery dog. From the article: "'It was an unrecognizable mass of flesh,' Economou said. 'It wasn't a clean cut. You couldn't even recognize it as a foot....If I had thought it was somehow reattachable and usable, I would have gone to my commander.'"
