If you are what you eat, chances are Arturo Carvajal isn't a thorny vegetable capable of ripping up a person's intestines.

The Miami doctor is suing a local restaurant after he knowingly ate an entire artichoke, thorny leaves and all, and then experienced excruciating pain afterward.

The lawsuit, filed against Houston's in Aventura, essentially claims the restaurant was responsible for Carvajal's pain because employees didn't tell the man that he was supposed to eat the soft meat located on the inside of the artichoke, not the entire thing.

That's about as bad as suing over hot coffee, but then again, that cost a certain chain millions in damages.

According to the lawsuit, a server suggested the grilled artichoke to Carvajal, who responded he had never seen or even heard of an artichoke, but decided to order it anyway. At no point, the lawsuit states, did the waiter tell Carvajal how to eat the dish.

We also assume, the waiter didn't show him how to use a fork or spoon either, but we digress.

After devouring the artichoke, Carvajal experienced severe abdominal pain and had to go to the hospital. Doctors found artichoke leaves lodged in his small bowel and had to perform surgery to remove them.

"Arturo Carvajal suffered bodily injury, resulting in pain and suffering, disability, disfigurement, mental anguish, loss of capacity for the enjoyment of life..." states the lawsuit.

The food ignorant doctor is looking for at least $15,000 in damages.

"It's just kind of a silly notion" Glenn Viers, attorney for the restaurant chain, told Business Insurance. "What's next? Are we going to have to post warnings on our menu they shouldn't eat the bones in our barbecue ribs?"

Be careful, Viers. You don't want to start giving customers any ideas.

When I saw the title I read: "Dr. Seuss Restaurant Over Artichoke".

[JoeDull]

Aww I was hoping for a Dr. Seuss themed restaurant

[chucknorrisgawd]

@AguyUsingTubeyou I thought the same thing

[septogram7]

I freakin' LOVE artichokes.

[RBNightlinger]

It takes a sophisticated diner to be familiar with artichokes? I've been eating them since I was TWO!

[MrTruam]

You are not suppose to eat steak bones?! I do it all the time. Similarly when food comes I normally start eating the spoons and forks first. And my bowel movements are smooth like a McDonalds smoothies.

[lubermanl]

They'll just give everyone pre-chewed food. Here is your steak smoothie, wouldn't want you to choke on it. Don't drink it too fast, don't try to breath while drinking your food.

@gurn58 In 1988, a man broke into a houston man's home, raped and beat his wife, her husband came home, he stabbed the husband ran out the front door and tripped on the broken steps and crushed his knee.

He was picked up prosecuted and while in jail awaiting trial for rape, illegal entry, attempted murder, aggravated assault, and a stack of other charges, he sued the homeowner for not maintaining his property and won.

Lawyers are ruining the world.

[gurn58]

This retard better not win! But sadly he probably has a good chance seein as how were in America.

[DecadentDisturber]

this guy isn't a doctor. he's a fucking retard.
