A young British boy was left infertile following a botched surgery on the wrong testicle, his family said.

The 2-year-old boy went in for the procedure at the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children earlier this week to treat an undescended testicle, the BBC reported. Doctors found the undescended testicle during a check-up.

The boy’s father, who did not release his name in order to protect his son’s identity, told the BBC surgeons “castrated” his son after operating on the wrong testicle.

Yet another example of the wonders of Government Health “Care”. Coming our way if the ‘RATS get their ultimate dreams for America.

Good thing it was “free.”

I would have taken a neon sharpie and wrote “This One”.

National Health Care, the Brits should have sen him here, we could have achieved this under Obamacare for twice the price.

"I would have taken a neon sharpie and wrote “This One”."

You're assuming the surgeon could read English.

[Vendome]

That’s nutz!

[Deaf Smith]

Doc should have read the Work Order.

Castration is not how one frees a undecended testical.

“But, but...there was a large black X in Magic Marker on the other one. I thought that meant ‘not this one’!”

Don’t know. Considering that it’s Britain, it may be more likely that he was a Paki. For them, castrating European children may be a dream come true.

[outofsalt]

Not having read the article, in fine freeper tradition, if he still has the, “undescended” testicle he is not castrated.

Still a major screw up which would be worth millions here.

I don't think you can do that with an undescended testicle. But you could write "NOT this one" on the descended one.

50% off for the supporters too!

A friend of mine had a benign lump in one boob. She put big arrows on which boob with a Sharpie before going under anesthesia.

American doctors ALL do that now. If they don’t they’re clearly negligent.
