This one feels a bit odd next to the mistaken amputation one.
Food safety and handling protocols are, and ought to be, serious business; but meticulous operating room protocol is also something that should be serious business; so it seems a little weird to see a 4 month sentence(albeit suspended) for the cook, £10,000 in fines for the owner; and £3,000 for the company over improper thermal husbandry of shepherd’s pie; but a €2,700 fine for the surgeon and €5,000 in damages to the next of kin for hacking the wrong leg off.
