An unfortunate situation but at least she can now provide her own musical accompaniment.
Opera singer Amy Herbst is suing after surgery that took place while she was giving birth left her with chronic flatulence. Ms Herbst, who previously performed with the Nashville Opera Company, says she is now unable to work as a professional singer. The complication arose after she was given an episiotomy during child birth. A nurse found that the tear had not healed properly leaving the mezzo-soprano with a "complete breakdown of the episiotomy and perineum", with "vagina and rectum are basically connected". The problem may not be easy to fix either, with a surgeon telling Herbst that reconstructive surgery may not be enough to help her regain control, and further operations might be needed. She has now filed a lawsuit, which states: "As a result of her incontinence and excessive flatulence, Herbst has been unable to work as a professional opera singer."

ok i`m done messing.
What's the difference between a pun and a fart? Well, one is a shift of wit, the other....
Seriously though, poor woman. She's quite fit as well. Upon reading that she was an opera singer, I was expecting a stereotypically big, fat woman.
Actually as a woman who had problems (nothing to this extent) after an episiotomy during childbirth we really shouldn't laugh but guess the puns are too easy to come in this story.
I was lucky all I needed was a minor op:cool:
In truth that stopped being a stereotype a very long time ago...
Poor woman! I understand her dilemma for I had problems following an episiotomy during childbirth. However, mine did heal eventually and luckily I am not an opera singer...or any type of singer come to that.
Minor op for me too did the trick.......:D:D
She looks deranged!
She ought to. Something really stinks here ^_^
Couldnt a discrete backstage fan remedy this problem?
