Gorilla eye surgery makes Dallas doc feel sense of heightened responsibility

by PegNews wire

... as opposed to when he's working on mere humans.

Timbo the gorilla is the eldest of the great apes at the Dallas Zoo (she's 47). She was having trouble seeing, due to cataracts. So zookeepers called in Dallas eye doc R. Wayne Bowman to perform radical eye surgery on the beast, and the results have been peachy-keen, thanks very much.

According to the good doctor, he felt "a greater sense of responsibility" when operating on Timbo than when performing a similar procedure on a human.
