Doctor mistakenly operated on a kid's tongue instead of finger.
How can a doctor commit such a mistake. It's such a traumatic experience for the kid!!!

A Doctor operated on 4-year-old patient's tongue instead of her finger in Kerala and faced public uproar due to which he got suspended.

the holotype is indeed from Colorado, but a foot referred to Brachiosaurus was found in Wyoming:

Brachiosaurus is from the Morrison formation, which has dinosaur-bearing exposures in at least 7 (wikipedia lists 13) states in the western USA. Wyoming is more or less near the center.

Is there a in the house? 😀

For the past 3 nights and yesterday afternoon, I've had a nose bleed out of my right nostril. Not gushing like a hit but a trickle. Luckily, it wakes me before I make a mess of pillows/sheets. 😳

I haven't been hit in the nose. No extra exertion or exercise to cause it. No previous issues with anything else other than the usual aches and pains of being old(er).No racing hereart rate or anything I can attribute it to.

Do you think it's a cause for concern? 😳

Our medical centre has just put up some of its fees ($63 a visit) and introduced "Note that appointments running over time will be charged at $20 per 5 minutes, including for community services card holders. A standard appointment only allows 10 minutes of consultation and 5 minutes for your clinician to make notes. Only one item can be addressed safely in a standard consultation." (NZ$)

What sort of charges do you experience where ever you are in the world?

#Texas #Surgeon Is Accused of Secretly Denying Liver #Transplants

A #Houston #hospital is investigating whether a #doctor altered a #transplant list to make his patients ineligible for care. A disproportionate number of them have died while waiting for new #organs.

-Texas Med Ctr in , where Bynon oversaw both liver & kidney prgs, abruptly shut those down in the past wk while looking into allegations.

Thurs, the ctr, a UTexas teaching , said it had found evidence a in its liver transplant prg had effectively denied patients transplants by changing recs. Ofcls ID’d the dr as Bynon, who is employed by U Ctr & has lead Mem Hermann’s abdominal transplant prg since 2011.

It was not clear what could have motivated Dr. Bynon to possibly tamper w/the records.…

…In recent yrs, a disproportionate number of #MemorialHermann patients have died while waiting for a liver, data shows. Last yr, 14 patients were taken off the center’s waiting list because they either died or became too #sick, & its mortality rate for people waiting for a #transplant was higher than expected, acc/to the Scientific Registry of #TransplantRecipients, a research grp.
