When I had surgery on my right shoulder I also had written on my left shoulder in magic marker, WRONG SHOULDER!!!

I work in a hospital for a living. I was not being paranoid. In one of the local hospitals (not mine) they took out the wrong kidney on a patient. That meant he had no functioning kidneys and was on dialysis until he died.

In my former life, I worked at a local hospital where a doctor indeed took out the wrong kidney and left the cancerous one in the patient back in the 80’s! Not good at all.
