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.

Adding to his anguish, Batista insists his decision to donate his kidney in 2001 was in part a failed effort to rescue their troubled relationship.

"My first priority was to save her life," the 49-year-old doctor said. "The second bonus was to turn our marriage around."

This is heart-breaking to say the least!

It's heart breaking, but you can't ask for money because you gave an organ. That would come dangerously close to organ selling.

I'm reasonably sure he's doing it for emotional damage and "fraudulent" acceptance or some such inanity. I'd love to see how it was filed.

Good question? He must be since he was generous enough to donate it in the first place. :)

He's a fool for asking for the kidney back.

If he can get it in front of a jury he probably has a pretty good shot at winning the case. Juries love these sob stories.
