Mixup of patient files/records/identification bracelets. Exhaustion. Stuff. Amputations of the limb on the wrong side have happened too. Medicine relies heavily on human personnel, and sadly humans make mistakes, sometimes with devastating and lethal consequences.

I even heard of an eye surgeon who removed a patient's healthy eye instead of the other one by mistake. I also agree with the above post's question of "How is that even possible?"

This doctor hasn't gotten away with anything, yet. I'd go out on a limb and say there's going to be serious ramifications to him/her for this negligence.
