I would sue the shit out of the *******
When I had carpal tunnel surgery they asked me and checked paperwork at least 10 times.. I don't think they'd operate on te wrong limb. They even wrote on me
When I had my gallbladder out, I counted how many times each person who talked to me asked my name and what procedure I was having. In total, I was asked 24 times by the surgeon, nurses, anesthesiologist, and transporters. I have such a hard time believing something like this can happen, but I guess I got lucky with my hospital.
This is when you sue
I'm so glad that 86.47% of the commenters here are saying that OP should sue. At least we're all in agreement. So now we can STOP SAYING THE SAME SHIT REPEATEDLY. Now that that's out of the way, I'm always surprised that wrong-site surgery still happens. Before I do anything where laterality is a concern, I have to mark the correct site. I would think it's impossible to screw it up, but I still hear stories regularly - the wrong kidney was removed, the wrong adrenal was removed, the wrong knee operated on, etc. It truly boggles the mind.
Whooooaa! How the heck did that happen! Can't you sue??
Is that Derrick Rose? Lol
How did the doctor not notice?
Wouldn't they do an X-ray before the surgery?...
It may have been a knee injury that doesn't come up well on xray.
Thanks for informing me!

One of the few times I would actually suggest suing. I have heard stories of people drawing arrows and notes on themselves to ensure the surgeons work on the correct limb.
OMG! I would kill!!!! So sorry to hear OP!!
