Description

A routine vacation in the Florida Panhandle turned into a medical nightmare for William Bryan and his wife, Beverly, after a surgeon allegedly removed the wrong organ during an emergency procedure. Dr. Thomas Shaknovsky now faces a second-degree manslaughter charge after authorities claim he mistakenly removed Bryan's liver instead of his spleen, leading to a fatal hemorrhage on the operating table.

I hope Beverly Bryan gets millions! Those who tried to sweep this under the rug should all be prosecuted.

THE LIVER?! First of all, they are in totally opposite regions of the upper abdomen, and the liver is like 3x bigger than the spleen, and they don’t look alike?! RIP to that poor man.

I had to look up what a Liver vs Spleen looked like. There is no freaking way that you can mistake one for the other. This is murder.
