| For more than 25 years, theres always been a home in Uncle Johns Bathroom Reader for those stories about doctor visits or routine surgeries gone horribly wrong--the wrong limb getting amputated, the wrong person getting a transplant, the nurse who didnt notice her patient had died . . . for three days. Because we never get tired of reading about big boo-boos (as long as theyre happening to someone else), here is a whole book of the troubling and funny stories of when good health care goes bad.Read all about:- The woman who needed her gall bladder out . . . so she removed it herself- The man who waited in an emergency room . . . for three weeks- The heart surgeon who got caught drawing his signature on his work- And many more stories of dreadful doctors, hospital horrors, and bad medicine. |
