British NHS Hospital ‘Accidentally’ Chops Off 6 People’s Limbs in 3 Years.
The National Pulse | 3/5/24A 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!”
My mother told me once she swears that’s what she told the doctor when I got circumcised..”measure twice cut once” but sometimes I wonder if the doc only measured once.
I’m amazed any surgeries get done at all any more in their fouled-up system…
Yes, but what about all the times they got it right? Or was that Left?
Which means the remaining arm still has to be …ahmm..dealt with…the only positive thing to say is that you just bought the last deodorant you will ever need…or ring..or wristwatch..or…
Doc: What seems to be the trouble today?
Patient: I think I have a head cold.
Doc: I’m afraid there’s not much I can do about that, but we are having a special on limb removal.
Patient: What?! I don’t want my bloody limb removed I just want some Sudafed.
Doc: Sorry, mate. That’s not covered. You sure you’re happy with that left leg? Looks a little off.
Patient: Let go of my leg! It’s fine.
Doc: Come on then, I won’t take it all. Just below the knee. You’ll never even miss it.
Patient: Won’t miss my leg? You’re cracked.
Doc: Of course. How’d ya think I got the job?
Just thank your lucky stars you’re not in Canada.
Well it was 2020, these people should just be thanking the lords (or whatever title their local landholder’s have now) that they didn’t die of the… duhn duhn duhn … COOOOVVVVVIIIIDDDD
