During a routine surgery at Rhode Island Hospital this past Monday, Dr. Laurence Mitchell, also known by his stage name “Zozento the Illustrious,” removed a patient’s kidney that was also many scarves.
“Yeah, one second Dr. Mitchell was reaching into the patient’s abdomen and pulling out the kidney, and the next, a man in a flowing yellow cape was pulling scarf after scarf out of the patient,” recounted nurse Jessie Ramirez, who reportedly stood slack-jawed as the surgeon/magician continued the operation.
