Actually this type of mistake (mistaken identity of a patient) is fairly common. I have read of breasts removed off of people who were there for another proceedure. A friend of mine, took a womans gall bladder when she was there for a hysterectomy. You hear of people have their good leg removed leaving a gangrenous leg still attached
These are not goood things to happen. Res ipsi locitur. When these things happen the surgeon has a lawyer rip him a new on. Nowhere to run or hide. The surgeon is in deep do-do.

My concern was that in Germany where medicine is socialized, the surgeon is a state worker and the victim probably has little recourse. So yer stuck with a bad leg and 2 anuses...ani.
I was thinking lawyers were the problem but then this happens and reminds me of the good aspect of having representation and the ability to sue their pants off.
