And here is the question--don't they study Anatomy in medical schools? How the fuck can you not know the difference between spleen and liver? Obviously, medical malpractice is nothing new all around the globe--it is true for the US, Canada, Russia, Germany, China and shit, but this...
A Florida surgeon mistakenly removed a man’s liver instead
of his spleen, causing him to die on the operating table, a lawyer for
the man’s widow alleges. William Bryan, 70, of Muscle Shoals, Alabama, underwent
surgery on Aug. 21, at Ascension Sacred Heart Emerald Coast hospital in
Miramar, Florida, because of spleen abnormalities, according to a statement from the personal injury firm Zarzaur Law, based in Pensacola, Florida. The
Walton County Sheriff's Office, in coordination with other authorities,
said in a statement to NBC News on Wednesday it is investigating
Bryan's death. William Bryan and his wife, Beverly Bryan,
were in the Sunshine State visiting their rental property when he began
experiencing “left-sided flank pain,” Beverly Bryan's attorneys said. He
was admitted to the hospital for further evaluation, and although the
Bryans were reluctant to have surgery in Florida, they were persuaded by Dr.
Thomas Shaknovsky, a general surgeon, and Dr. Christopher Bacani, the
hospital’s chief medical officer, that he could experience serious
complications if he left the hospital’s care.
Both
Shaknovsky and Bacani appeared to be involved in discussions, according
to records, for how to proceed with Bryan’s medical treatment, Beverly
Bryan's lawyer, Joe Zarzaur, said in the statement. Shaknovsky performed a hand-assisted laparoscopic splenectomy on William Bryan, Zarzaur said, which had deadly consequences. “Dr.
Shaknovsky removed Mr. Bryan’s liver and, in so doing, transected the
major vasculature supplying the liver, causing immediate and
catastrophic blood loss resulting in death,” the statement said. “The
surgeon proceeded with labeling the removed liver specimen as a
'spleen,' and it wasn’t until following the death that it was identified
that the organ removed was actually Mr. Bryan’s liver, as opposed to
the spleen.'”
But if this horror wasn't enough, get a load of this. This is more than just malpractice, this is down right coercion and crime. Poor girl...
