ARDEN CITY, N.Y. (WABC) -- A Long Island surgeon embroiled in a nearly four-year divorce proceeding wants his estranged wife to return the kidney he donated to her, although he says he'll settle for $1.5 million in compensation.

Dr. Richard Batista, a surgeon at Nassau University Medical Center, told reporters at his lawyer's Long Island office Wednesday that he decided to go public with his demand for kidney compensation because he has grown frustrated with the negotiations with his estranged wife.

Dr. Batista fought back tears after talking about a bitter divorce battle he's embroiled in with his wife of 15 years.

"There's no deeper pain or betrayal from somebody you loved and devoted your whole life to," he said.

Batista's a full-time surgeon, who married Dawnell in 1990. They would later have three children and eventually he saved her life by donating his kidney to her in 2001.

She filed for divorce in July 2005, although he claims she began having an extramarital affair 18 months to two years after receiving the kidney transplant, his attorney, Dominick Barbara said.

Batista says she had an affair.

"I felt humiliated betrayed as a person, a man, a husband and father," adds Dr. Batista.

Now as part of the divorce settlement Dr. Batista isn't asking for the million dollar home they shared in Massappequa, he's asking for his kidney back, or to get paid for it.

Douglas Rothkopf, the attorney representing Dawnell Batista, told Eyewitness News, "The facts aren't as represented by Dr. Batista. We will be addressing the issues before the judge within the next few days."

Batista, 49, said he has no regrets about donating the kidney, only about the failed marriage.

He still recalls the day after the surgery took place.

"There is no greater feeling on this planet. As God is my witness, I felt as if I could put my arm around Jesus Christ. It was an unbelievable; I was walking on a cloud. To this day I would still do it again," he said.

That sucks for this guy, but man does he know revenge. Any woman (or man) that cheats is scum in my book.

He won't win his case of course since it was a "gift" and not a loan to his wife.

    God fuck that ambiguous, one-sentence line in the middle of the story. Either it's repetitive or it's the wife admitting to the affair.

    Either way no you don't get your kidney back you ass.

    That is hilarious though.

    Even better if he did the surgery himself.

    Is it possible to loan an organ. I don't mean legal but physically possible. Can you give someone a kidney and then have them give it back to you or would this really muck up said kidney?

    life of Brian was banned by the catholic church for that very reason not too long before that as i recall.

    But the conservative people are the ones complaining about those things in the first place.



    edit: but you're right, since i don't know how old mysst is it's quite possible that his parents did not catch wind of the controversy in the late seventies.

    You could, it's still your DNA.

    However, it's likely pumped full of drugs and would need to be detoxed first before it could be reattached.

    My guess is he'd just throw it away and is looking for her to go through dialysis because it was a lifelong gift meant for lifelong love. What a whore though. "Here's a kidney baby" "oh hey there poolboy".
