British NHS Hospital ‘Accidentally’ Chops Off 6 People’s Limbs in 3 Years.
The National Pulse | 3/5/24
A British hospital has admitted that it mistakenly performed six amputations in three years, a small fraction of an ‘accidental’ amputation epidemic occurring at UK hospitals with as many as 105 over three years.
York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust acknowledged the mistakes — the highest number of incidents in any UK hospital — resulting from medical negligence. The Yorkshire hospital revealed that four of the accidental amputations occurred in 2020, while the remaining two happened in 2021.
However, the Yorkshire hospital is not the only hospital operating under Britain’s socialized healthcare system to have ‘accidentally’ cut off peoples’ limbs. Records disclosed by Accident Claims reveal that Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust also carried out two unnecessary amputations. Five further cases of mistaken amputations resulting from medical negligence occurred at Medway NHS Foundation Trust in Kent.
Doctor: “So, which arm are we lopping off?”
Administrator: “The left one.”
Doctor: “My left or his left?”
Administrator: “Well, not your left, obviously.”
Doctor: “No, I mean the left side as I look at him, or the left side as he looks at me?”
Administrator: “Well, he’s out, so. . . [Checks schedule] Time’s a-wasting!”
