| Marine Chooses Wedding Ring Over Finger (nyt) |
|
VICTORVILLE, Calif. (AP) -- When Marine Lance Cpl. David Battle learned he'd either have to sacrifice his ring finger or the wedding band he wore, he told doctors at a field hospital in Iraq to cut off the finger.
<snip>
With his approval, doctors severed his finger, but somehow in the chaos that followed, they lost his ring.
Although Battle was disappointed, his wife, Devon, said she was honored.

And I don't think a doctor should give somebody that choice. They should save the finger above a symbol.
