Florida surgeon ‘devastated’ over death of patient after removing liver instead of spleen
(www.theguardian.com)
Thomas Shaknovsky botched the surgery of William Bryan, 70, who died on the operating table
According to Shaknovksy’s deposition, after removing Bryan’s liver, the surgeon instructed a nurse to label the organ as a “spleen” – and he also identified it as a spleen in Bryan’s postoperative notes. Shaknovsky later said he had been “mentally compromised” at the time of Bryan’s death, explaining that he was “devastated, demoralized, crying over his passing, felt that I failed him”.
I soooo wanna know about the implied non-consensual operations...
There has been, as I recall, all sorts of fucked up nonsense, usually involving minorities and women. Go in for one thing and oh whoops, you’re sterile now! A lot of insane shit like that. People going to the doctor’s to figure out a problem with an organ they didn’t realize that they no longer have, that kinda bullshit.
It’s the doctor from The Human Centipede.
