Anatomy-challenged surgeon in Florida allegedly removes wrong organ (again!) — his patient dies

EXACTLY!

As I said, no excuse for this at all. Someone had to notice they were on the right side. Now, situs inversus exists, but is generally a pretty big deal in surgical settings and unlikely to be unannounced. Yeah, this is infuriating. I apologize if I am taking this a bit personally, but there is enough bullshit out there about doctors who are idiots and don’t care about their patients to have one actually do that and not call it out for what it is.

Edit cause I’m not so bright…
