So when Obama and the Dems take over the health care industry - will these stories become a thing of the past?
By that I mean, will the mistakes stop or will the liberal media simply no longer report them?
Minn. surgeon needs two tries to remove appendix
SHAKOPEE — A state investigative report said a surgeon performed an appendectomy on the same patient twice after he mistakenly removed a piece of fatty tissue instead the first time. The Star Tribune reported that the surgeon realized his mistake two days after the first operation after a hospital pathologist reported what was removed was "not an appendix."
The patient had been complaining of pain and fever and was ordered back for a second surgery.
The by now ruptured appendix was removed, after which the unidentified patient spent 11 days in the hospital with complications from the second surgery.
