What a strange story. No doctor removes a liver because of any disease. There is no way to live without a liver and that is why they call it a liver. It’s pretty prominent and is almost always in the same place in every person. If anyone removed a liver for therapeutic reasons, that person is not a doctor and whoever allowed the patient to be worked on by this person should be held liable.
Apparently he thought he was removing the spleen. How he could make that mistake, I don’t know.
Don’t you have to kind of move the liver around in there to get to most everything else? Ha Ha.

Well, that’s generally true, unless one has end stage liver disease-cirrhosis- like I did. The surgeon took mine out and replaced it with another that matched me. I waited 4 years for it.
What a horrible, messed up story. His family should also be suing whoever gave him his license to practice medicine.
