Britain’s NHS circumcises man by mistake – but at least it was for “free”

The Sun-

The patient had been scheduled to have a cystoscopy – a bladder inspection with a camera.

But instead surgeons removed his foreskin after his notes were mixed with a patient due to have a circumcision last September.

The error was one of eight “never events” at University Hospital of Leicester NHS Trusts last year – with the report stating the trusts had failed to learn from them.

Leicester City Clinical Commissioning Group (LCCCG) also revealed in the report a swab was left inside a child after nasal surgery.

In April another patient also had surgery intended for another man with a similar name, and one person had a hip implant in the wrong side.

The report stated: “Failure to demonstrate learning from never events has been a concern for Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland commissioners and partners for some time.

  1. We have socialized medical care in areas of the US, such as Louisiana. I have practiced in both private care as well as the socialized area. I can assure you there is a major difference and have consistently seen worse than the stated cases here.

  2. When going into the hospital, especially one with surgeons on duty there, always use a permanent marker to write “Do Not Remove” on anything you don’t want cut off (be careful to write it out in full and not just use the initials “DNR”).

    If you don’t, you may wake up to find it missing.

  4. Something similar happened to a friend of mine. His penis was cut off in an accident, and all his male relatives donated an inch of theirs to reconstruct it. When the doctor asked him what he thought of his new penis, he said “It’s great that it is longer than it used to be, but why did you put Grandpas part in the middle?”

    Dear Mr. Giles.

    We are pleased to inform you that the red blotches on your
    penis were not cancerous. They were lipstick.
    We regret removing it.

    Sincerely, Dr. C. Achmed, Chief Surgeon LMC
