The mere fact that a surgical error has occurred does not mean that anyone is

liable for medical malpractice.

In other words, if the mistake did not fall below the medical standard of care, or
you were not harmed by it, there is no malpractice.

before every operation there is a time line of briefings from the pre op bay to the
start of the operation. These steps are placed to identify and prevent errors

since the case went past through all the measurements that leaded to a wrong
organ removal while still having the targeted organ remain in the px

The error was compounded in the operating theatre when Mr Roberts (doctor) placed the x
ray back to front and positioned Mr Reeves (patient) for a left nephrectomy.

Mr Reeves underwent what should have been a right nephrectomy but removed
the patient's left kidney in error.
On discovering their mistake, the doctors carried out further surgery in an
attempt to restore function to the chronically diseased right kidney but failed,
and Mr Reeves (patient) was placed on dialysis. He developed septicaemia and
died in March
