Under The Scrubs
We Fixed The Wrong Problem, You're Welcome
In this shocking and eye-opening episode, we delve into some of the most devastating examples of wrong-site surgeries and medical malpractice in North America. From a tragic case in Winnipeg where a patient had the wrong leg amputated, to Sheila North and Jason Kennedy, both victims of wrong-side hip surgeries at the same Winnipeg hospital years apart. These incidents raise serious concerns about surgical safety protocols.
We also explore the disturbing lawsuit involving neurosurgeon Dr. Badih Adada at Arkansas Children's Hospital, where 15-year-old Cody Metheny tragically had the wrong side of his brain operated on, resulting in permanent damage.
