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,”

He was Delivered.

After the procedure, Shaknovsky told Beverly Bryan, a nurse, the “spleen” was so diseased that it was four times bigger than usual and had “migrated” to the other side of Bill Bryan’s body.
In a previous wrong-site surgery in 2023, Zarzaur said Shaknovsky mistakenly removed a portion of a patient’s pancreas instead of performing the intended adrenal gland resection (cutting out tissue or part of an organ) at the same hospital.
This man's spleen is so diseased it looks like a liver!
Piss on Florida stay in Alabama.
See post 22.
It’s inconceivable to me that that kind of screw-up could happen.
HE DID THIS BEFORE!?😮
aw, come on. When you’ve seen one organ, you’ve seen them all
I hate it when that happens.
Measure twice cut once.
I heard of a doctor who cut off the wrong leg. Patient couldn’t sue because he didn’t have a leg to stand on!
My brother is on his 7 th year of a liver transplant. Amazing he was home 4 days after his surgery that took 11 hours.
I have wondered whether osteopaths were as good as MDs. This does not give me a lot of confidence in osteopaths.
So he said.
LOL
And look at the anatomy chart once in a while.
awwwwwful

Small town doc with a god complex. Thinks he can do anything. I saw this type thing happen way too many times when a doctor tried to do more than his ability. Great hospitals 65 miles away and small town docs butchered patients instead of transferring to better facility.
God complex is real….
“””During the operation, Shaknovsky removed Bryan’s liver”””
And was the Surgeon number one at his Medical School?
Even I could tell the difference between a spleen and a liver and it has been years since I stayed at a Holiday Inn.
I went home after 5 days. Had the surgery on a Sunday afternoon and was discharged on a Friday afternoon. Loyola U. Medical Center in Maywood, Illinois.
I wish continued good health to your brother!
