actually, considering the volume of surgeries performed every day, it's actually kinda crazy )to me anyways) that this doesnt happen more...
I mean, look at McDonalds, your lucky if you get what you order going through the drive through, now obviously doctors are more careful than McDonalds personell, but the point is, we're all human and apt to make mistakes.
now, during the one surgery I had, I talked to the doc before hand and made sure I mentioned appendix several times, and made sure he nodded and smiled several times...
good doctor tho, wasn't offended, admitted that even though he was a doctor he too made mistakes from time to time and was happy to humor me
