Episode: Family Forces
City: Louisville, Ky.
Hospital: University Hospital
Doctor Profile: Dr. Bassam Haddi

A man was mowing his lawn one afternoon when he was suddenly attacked by his sister and brother-in-law. After a beating, the brother-in-law proceeded to bite the man's ear off. The attending physician, Dr. Michelle Phipps, was hopeful that the patient would be able to keep the damaged ear, because, "In the case of the ear there's no major vessel to be repaired." Trying to mend this family may prove to be a bit tougher however.
