Almost 50 years ago I was in the hospital for 3 days for what today would be minor surgery. It was back in the day where there were usually two patients per room. The man in the other bed was supposed to have his leg amputated due to diabetes. They amputated the wrong leg.
And this is why we don't want socialized medical care here in the land of the free.
Because in your land of make-believe, such things don't happen when private insurance is paying the bills? Are you really that naive? [rhetorical question]
PS - The VA and Medicare are both the very definitions of 'socialized medicine' and they are both very popular.

Well, it's not like it can be changed back. So, realistically, he doesn't have a lot of options except to get over it.
He might get a small settlement, but it happened in the UK where they don't have a system where you can sue anyone over anything and expect to receive multi-millions over it.

So, so naive. Socialized medical care has nothing to do with it.
I used to pay medical health insurance claims on my job. I couldn't possibly begin to tell you all the mistakes I saw made by hospitals. I could tell you about the mistakes made in medical records that has happened to me the times I was hospitalized.
