(Former Dr.) Michael Brown Says He Got E. Coli in Jail, So He Needs Out -- Now!

Michael "Simply Give Him His Ten Minutes of Pleasure"Brown has asked a judge to spring him from his six-month Harris County Jail sentence because he allegedly contracted E. coli, and because every day in jail for him will hurt his estranged wife and children financially.

Yeah, it makes about as much sense the thousandth time you read it, too.

The motion doesn't explain how Brown supposedly contracted the dreadful bug, only that he has "suffered severe physical side effects as a result. It is important to his physical health that he be released and allowed to pursue private medical attention to address any medical concerns that may still exist as a result of his custody in the Harris County Jail. (For the record, we heard that E. coli stings like a bitch -- like, imagine getting your face bashed in by a broken bedpost after being dragged up the stairs by your hair with such force that the hair comes out in clumps by the roots. Yeah, it's even worse than that!)

Family Court Judge Sheri Dean sentenced the ex-surgeon to 180 days in jail for multiple violations of a court order regulating his spending abilities during his never-ending divorce proceeding with Rachel Brown.

a man kills both his parents and then demands mercy from the court because he is now an orphan.

His life is spinning out of control and needs help to get back to reality. He is unable to perform surgery and his license has been revoked. He has several children he needs to provide for and several baby's mamas.
