This is kind of an odd (and sad) legal situation in which a doctor who gave his wife a kidney is now going through a brutal divorce with her. And he wants his kidney back or, at least, some money for it.

Richard Batista can live with his broken heart. He just can’t bear his cheating wife living with his healthy kidney.

The Long Island doctor wants the one-time love of his life to pay $1.5 million for the organ he bestowed on her eight years ago in a gift meant to save her life and their foundering marriage.

“There’s no deeper pain you can ever express than to be betrayed by the person you devoted your life to,” Batista told reporters in Garden City Wednesday.

“I saved her life. But the pain is unbearable.”

Batista charged his wife, Dawnell, repaid his gesture by first sleeping with her physical therapist – and then denying him access to their three kids in an increasingly bitter divorce.

Batista insisted his cash-for-kidney claim was a direct result of his wife’s behavior. He said he hasn’t seen his three daughters – ages 14, 11 and 8 – in months.

“This is my last resort,” Batista said. “I didn’t want to be in the public eye.”

It’s rare for me to take the woman’s side in divorce proceedings so it should come as no shock that I hope the kidney spontaneously combusts inside of this cunt. In fact, that’s probably a good idea if you ever give a kidney to someone who may end up out of your life. Put a timebomb inside of there for five years later. If they’re good, you go, “Hey, watch out…bomb in your kidney.” If not, you stand 1000 feet away and eat some popcorn.

This is why I probably should have been an evil genius instead of wasting my time in this crazy work-a-day world. But I was too lazy to get the costume. Every day I’d put it off and put off and now I have to think about how sweet it would have been to kill Batman. Sigh.
