Hospitals and doctors here don’t go through the elaborate routines that are required these days because mistakes like this haven’t happened in this country. Years ago I had a hernia operation and as I was about to be sedated, it was like an interrogation: “What’s your name?” “Why are you here?” “What side is it on?” Imagine waking up with a leg missing when it was supposed to be an appendectomy. ► 6.4/93.6 ___________ “We are Americans ….

Thank you, OAM, for your fine defense of an innocent, but unjustly maligned pronoun. This space intentionally left blank. | |||

I heard both patients sued the doctor but in each case, the judge threw the lawsuit out. He said they didn't have a leg to stand on. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

I used to work with an orthopedist who replaced the wrong knee. And it wasn't that long ago - seven or eight years ago. Following that little episode, the time-outs at that hospital became ridiculously long and elaborate. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil."

Oh nonsense. It's hardly ever acceptable in formal writing. Nor should it be. But I guess something that should be obvious has become a matter of opinion nowadays. Such is the English language though. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||
