Dr. Richard Batista, a surgeon in New York, met his wife, Dawnell Batista, when he was working in a hospital and she was training to be a nurse.  They married in 1991 and had three children together.

In 2001, Dawnell needed a kidney transplant.  Richard donated one of his.

A couple of years later, Richard claims Dawnell started an extramarital affair.  She sued for divorce in 2005 and they have been battling it out since then.

Richard, apparently frustrated by a lack of progress in the negotiations, held a press conference and demanded his wife return his kidney.  Alternatively, he will agree to settle for $1.5 million in compensation for his loss.

New York divorce attorneys don’t give him good odds of winning this one.
