Florida surgeon charged with killing man after removing liver instead of spleen

My paternal grandmother had an involuntary radical hysterectomy with an emergency appendectomy either because of classist eugenics against enlisted military wives post-WWII or, as she said, the Navy surgeon was drunk. Nothing ever happened to said surgeon.

I just don't know even what to say to this. That is absolutely devastating for the family. This story is absolutely insane. This sounds like something you'd read about in a third-world country in the 19th century.

The fact that he just kept doubling down and then even tried to cover it up is chilling. What is his deal? He just wants to play doctor? Does he get heavily paid for surgeries?

I see this on an 4 year old review:

> I truly believe, and have been told, it sounds like the outpatient surgery benefits him more monetarily than doing it during my 8 day hospital stay.

Perhaps this guy is just in it for the money and totally out of his league.

It makes you wonder why checks and balances failed to allow this guy to practice medicine and who wasn't speaking up or being listened to. It's pretty scary if there are doctor's like this out there.
