“Just wondering how many people are going have the wrong leg cut off once Obama is in charge of health care.”
Actually, that happened in the Tampa Veteran’s hospital several years ago. Note once, but twice. My Dad knew one of the men. Now, they write on your body what is to be done while you’re awake. (But, still...damn!)
And the judge would dismiss the lawsuit, saying that the plaintiff didn’t have a leg to stand on.
They did that to me at the VA hospital when I had my triple bypass. After they wrote, "Triple Bypass" in magic marker, I had them write another line under that, "Please return heart to previous position when finished".... just kidding!
they write on your body
When I had knee surgery some years ago in Mass- I had to mark which knee and put my surgeon’s initials on as well, before I had any anesthetic.
