Dr. James C. Burt - The Love Surgeon

Earlier today on The Bubba the Love Sponge Show, Bubba received a call from "Clarke" who was discussing an experience that he (his wife) had with a doctor many years ago.

He made reference to "Dr Burton, The Love Surgeon", and said that his wife went in for a routine hysterectomy and went home with a mangled vagina. As best as "Clarke" understood, the doctor was no longer practicing, and was living in Florida.

After some research, I believe the doctor in question is Dr. James C. Burton. According to wikipedia.com;

"Burt was born in Dayton, Ohio and earned his M.D. from the University of Rochester School of Medicine in 1945. He was licensed in Ohio in 1951.

Burt began performing "love surgery" in 1966. In his 1975 book, Surgery of Love, Burt wrote: "Women are structurally inadequate for intercourse. This is a pathological condition amenable to surgery." He claimed his surgery would turn women into "horny little mice" and asserted that "the difference between rape and rapture is salesmanship." Burt's procedures caused sexual dysfunction, infection and the need for corrective surgery in many patients.

In 1988, women subjected to the procedure came forward, eventually initiating several lawsuits. He voluntarily surrendered his license in January 1989, thereby avoiding a medical board hearing which might have uncovered more evidence against him. He subsequently divorced and declared bankruptcy due to the victim lawsuits totaling USD$21 million."
