Jury penalizes doctor who operated on wrong side of brain

Well both sides do look alike. (http://www.cnn.com/2004/LAW/02/11/malpractice.lawsuit.ap/index.html)

There was one awhile back{years} were a guy was to loose a leg, and the doc took the wrong one. I don't remember the whole story, but it must have sucked to wake up and relize you had the wrong body part taken

Thats kinda scary that doctors would mess up that badly.

When I went into surgery for my triple bypass, as they were wheeling me into the operation room, my wife put a sign on my chest that said "Heart Surgery..dont remove any other stuff by mistake."

True story.

I think you better get a good malpractice lawyer, because I think they removed your brain by mistake
