Question

If a doctor amputated the wrong leg, who is the blame, the doctor, the hospital or both?

Answer 1

A wrong limb amputation during surgery is something that should never happen. But, unfortunately, this kind of medical mistake (Wrong Limb Amputations) sometimes occurs. Amputation of the wrong limb can cause serious physical as well as emotional damage. Many victims suffer shock and depression. There is no Excuse for the Wrong Limb to be Amputated.

Doctors operate on the wrong patients, amputate the wrong limbs, take out organs from the wrongside of the body, fail to monitor life-threatening conditions, misdiagnose, and administer fatal. In this case both the doctor and hospital is responsible for this, but in most of the cases docter license was cancelled. In fact, in a major case other doctors defended the doctor who amputated the wrong leg in his efforts to regain his license.
