Stay out of a hospital if you don’t like incompetent and major mistakes.
You aren't kidding. When I was in aviation tech school 20+ years ago, one of the students in there was a local surgeon. He was tired of paying people to work on his planes and was in the middle of building a kit plane, so he decided to get an A&P license so he could do most of his own work. I was surprise how candid he was about some of the medical mistakes he was involved in.
One of which involved a lower leg that was being amputated from a diabetic patient. The patient was prepped, everyone was getting into place, he went into the operating room, started getting ready to start cutting, then stopped. He looked at the leg, looked at the assistant, and said "This is our diabetic patient".
"Yes doctor."
Then he said "Where we are to remove the left lower leg."
"Yes doctor."
Then he said "You guys want to try this again?"
Yep. They prepped the wrong leg for amputation........
There was another story about accidently removing the appendix during what should have been a gall bladder surgery. His response? "That ended up being a freebie."
I have no idea how things could progress that far in an operating room environment to the point where someone in there didnt realize a huge screw up was about to happen, but whatever. I'm assuming these two stories were true, he was the one telling them. He was scary intelligent, I'll give him that much, but spend any amount of time with him, and I did, you knew he was an absolute nutball.
Professionals scare me. No wonder I dont let anyone touch my cars.
