Hospital performs vasectomy on patient by accident

 

Imagine going into the hospital for a minor operation – only to get a much more serious one instead.

 

That’s what happened in February to a man from Liverpool, England, who had gone into surgery at the Royal Liverpool Hospital.  The patient was scheduled to undergo a minor urological procedure, but doctors carried out the operation on the “wrong site,” and the man was ultimately given a vasectomy by accident, the Telegraph reported.

According to the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust, it appears that the surgeon didn’t follow the World Health Organization surgical safety checklist when performing the operation.

There is not an accident. It's the inevitable result of the blatant disregard for established precautions.

I don't think a hospital accident made him like that.

Someone's husband at my work had a kidney tumor and they removed the wrong kidney. They then had to remove about 60% of the remaining kidney.

 

Aren't vasectomies reversible?

im not a doctor "per se" but i would assume its pretty easy to reverse.
