It’s every tomophobians’ worst nightmare.
According to multiple reports, an alleged interstate case of a medical procedure going horrifically wrong has the family of the deceased accusing the doctor of gross malpractice.
William Bryan, a resident of Muscle Shoals, Alabama.. reportedly died after a Florida surgeon removed the wrong organ during an operation.
...
Bryan was taken to Ascension Sacred Heart Emerald Coast Hospital in Walton County, Florida, on Aug. 18.
What happened next was, as the Bryan family’s attorney, Joe Zarzaur, put it, “one of the most egregious cases of medical malpractice that I’ve ever been involved with.”
....
The Bryans were reportedly “reluctant” to go through with the procedure, and considered traveling back home to Alabama for the surgery. But the family lawyer claimed that the general surgeon, Dr. Thomas Shaknovsky, and the hospital’s chief medical officer, Dr. Christopher Bacani, successfully convinced the family to stay for the procedure.
The Journal chronicled: “Shaknovsky proceeded with a hand-assisted laparoscopic splenectomy procedure.”
The issue arose when the doctor removed an organ that was decidedly not a spleen.
“During the operation, Shaknovsky removed Bryan’s liver and, in so doing, transected the major vasculature supplying the liver, causing immediate and catastrophic blood loss that resulted in Bill Bryan’s death
...
Perhaps even more alarmingly .. that Shaknovsky didn’t even notice the blatant surgical error at first.
The doctor reportedly labeled the removed liver as a “spleen.”
Zarzaur himself felt that the facts of this case were “so egregious,”

Imagine if the Coroner's report had instead read:
"The decedent's body had mysteriously transformed into a large pot roast, with all the trimmings, and migrated into my refrigerator. But I proceeded with autopsy, and found no evidence of wrong-doing on the part of the surgeon. Also: It was delish!"

But that ain't no help to the surgeon, if that durned spleen is changing color, tripling in size, moving to the other side of the body, and masquerading as a liver!
Regards,
HA! :)
Ping!.................
Omg.
Probably wanted the $.
Wow really hard to not know you took the liver out, close the hospital and charge the surgeon and hospital medical director with murder.
Well the problem wasn’t that they removed it. They could have reimplanted had they not cut his major artery causing him to bleed out.
Yes I don’t know how you mix up a liver with a spleen but still real cause of death was they bled him out
