Thomas Shaknovsky botched the surgery of William Bryan, 70, who died on the operating table
According to Shaknovksy’s deposition, after removing Bryan’s liver, the surgeon instructed a nurse to label the organ as a “spleen” – and he also identified it as a spleen in Bryan’s postoperative notes. Shaknovsky later said he had been “mentally compromised” at the time of Bryan’s death, explaining that he was “devastated, demoralized, crying over his passing, felt that I failed him”.
It’s been a while since I’ve operated on anyone (consentually, at least). I know some doctors can be so arrogant that you don’t ever want to second-guess them or correct them for fear of bring berated. Aren’t there other people directly over the patient who might butt in and say “hey, are you sure that’s the right part?”
I soooo wanna know about the implied non-consensual operations…
It’s the doctor from The Human Centipede.

There has been, as I recall, all sorts of fucked up nonsense, usually involving minorities and women. Go in for one thing and oh whoops, you’re sterile now! A lot of insane shit like that. People going to the doctor’s to figure out a problem with an organ they didn’t realize that they no longer have, that kinda bullshit.
That entire “don’t ever want to second guess them” was put upside down with airplane captains where they are.trained to communicate and not be afraid to speak up when they see a problem, lest we have a other Tenerife incident
