Manhattan Surgeon Fired After Removing Wrong Kidney From Patient

[hrmjustin]

A surgeon at Mount Sinai Medical Center has been relieved of his duties after making a serious mistake.

The hospital says the surgeon removed the wrong kidney from a 76-year-old patient who was suffering from two failed and diseased kidneys.

The correct kidney has since been removed and the hospital says the patient is doing well.

The hospital would not name the surgeon but says it has apologized to the patient.

And all future medical care associated with said transplant.

I would buy a gun and deal with that doctor if that had been done to me.
