Lucy! You got some spleenin’ to do...!

[Hot Tabasco]

The surgeon actually was a locum tenens,

And I'm supposed to know what that is?

[Fungi]

An equal opportunity, affirmative action doctor.

[Leep]

I blame obama and biden.

[Huskrrrr]

A graduate of a online Medical school?

[glorgau]

Spleen, kidney, whatever.

[KittyKares]

Someone didn’t study the kidney chapter in his biology book.

I’ve been told (by an American nurse) the SE Asian medical schools are far more lax than ours. And partially the reason we are being flooded with Drs from That area.

[Sarcazmo]

Damn! I hope they kept it.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Yeah. This is a reason to sue.

And people thought I was crazy when I wrote NOT THIS ONE on my good shoulder when I when in for shoulder surgery.

The operation took place in June 2021. The mistake went undetected for several days until the kidney was examined after it was sent to a pathologist, according to court documents. The pathologist “was so astonished, he asked other pathologists to confirm his diagnoses.” Ultimately, all five pathologists agreed the organ submitted for examination and identified as a left kidney was in fact a spleen.

The only major surgery I've ever had is two hip replacements,which were done at a major hospital.Both times the surgeon came in while I was waiting in pre-op and wrote "yes" on the hip to be replaced and "no" on the other hip. And this was a senior surgeon on the faculty of a major medical school.

Perhaps there's a lesson in that for physicians.surgeons in smaller towns.

This sort of thing takes training.

If my surgeon looked like the kid on the left I'd be running screaming for the door.

[no-to-illegals]

Would the name “ambati” be a clue ?

[HollyB]

Good think it wasn’t the wrong (healthy) kidney.

asked the candidates to list the features of a palpable left upper quadrant mass which might help you decide whether it is a kidney or a spleen. It is almost a shame to dedicate an entire chapter to the kidney-spleen controversy.

an entire chapter is dedicated to the subject...........
