> [@Spice\_Weasel](#): > > This feels like something that should be triple checked. Like three separate people should be responsible for making sure it’s the right leg. The article says that it is everyone in the room’s responsibility to review and agree on the surgery site before cutting. That it was missed is completely inexplicable, and they are all individually named in the suit because of that policy. Two pauses, the whole team reviewed and agreed, and still a miss? > [@LSLGuy](#): > > The prep staff gets the patient positioned and draped. By the time the actual surgeon shows up, there’s a small area of skin visible where they’re going to work. Any / all markings are somewhere under the drapes they’re trying hard not to touch. > > A set up to goof, but the blame is (probably in most cases) somewhat upstream of the first incision. When I had a very minor hand surgery, the doctor put marks exactly where he intended to cut. There is no way to cover with drapes if the doctor is cutting in the right place. The surgeon marked the leg pre-surgery. Shouldn’t he know to look for his own marks? No doubt the goof is upstream of the first incision. The question is how that level of bungling happens when procedures specifically have steps to prevent it. Answer: “Who follows procedures? I know what I’m doing.” ---

When I had surgery on my foot, the leg with the foot they needed to work on was elevated above the other. I was completely conscious at the time, so I could have said something myself if the wrong leg was raised. But I liked that it was obvious with the leg in that position. Parenthetically, it was a benign tumor of a type that the doc said is _never_ in a foot. Yay, me. ---

If you haven’t heard of it, it’s probably not a good idea to do an Internet search about Radithor. A primary motivation for these idjits to do dumb and harmful things (drink “radium water”, ingest chlorine dioxide bleach, eat borax, take horse paste for every conceivable ailment etc.) is that “They” said not to. _Dog’s got to bark, a mule’s got to bray. Soldiers must fight and preachers must pray. And children, I guess, must get their own way The minute that you say no._ - The Fantasticks This opens up an intriguing possibility: what if, instead of urging people to get vaccinated, physicians, immunologists and public health experts came out saying vaccines are bad and no one should get them? Antivaxers at least would do a 180 (or in the immortal words of Karoline Leavitt, a 360). ---
