If you're anything like me, you tend to get nervous even when going into the doctor's office for a routine check-up. There's something about the clinical environment, the harsh lighting, and the (slim) possibility that the doctors will discover that I have some rare, incurable illness that gives me the creeps. I tend to put off going to the doctor for as long as possible, and when I do finally make an appointment, I'm filled with profound dread until the day of my appointment arrives.
One man from the United Kingdom had the misfortune of going in for a routine medical procedure and coming out, well, altered. And not at all in the way he was expecting. Keep scrolling to find out what happens when the medical professionals we entrust with our lives get something horribly wrong, and how shockingly common this occurs.
FYI, this may not be a good one to read on your phone in the waiting room of your doctor's office.
They will have it tough enough when top heads (figuratively) roll for blatantly lying and scheming and covering up a patient's death to avoid proper reporting and investigation of said death and then getting one of their law school affiliates/associates (who just so happens to be the DA) to take the heat off of them by criminally prosecuting one aspect of their overall disgusting dysfunction.

Actually, that isn't at all true. There are other countries besides Americans that circumcise males. I would encourage you to pull up a male circumcision map. Male circumcision was occurring long before America was even settled.
While an elective procedure, there are benefits. If you have ever taken care of a five or seven year old boy that had to have one for medical reasons, or a child with a severe penile infection, you would better understand how merciful it is when they are infants.
Right now STD rates outside of the USA are soaring and they are continuing to increase in the USA. While there is no evidence that the decline in male circumcision is a contributing factor, I find it worth noting that it is inversely correlated.
I'm not positive but I don't think it would be completed with a ring around it........
In my experience, Cystos are not marked, however, part of the time out procedure involves a visual comparison of the patient’s armband to the permit, reading aloud the name, MR# and the procedure word for word, including the side (if there is one) and the announcement that the patient has been marked.
Had all of this been done, I expect this gentleman would still have his foreskin on him and not in a jar.
As far as paperwork getting ‘mixed up’ I have friends that utilize the NHS system. I’ll have to ask if they get asked their name and birthdate before any provider does anything like we do (or are supposed to do). Again, double checking that with the band....

The quoted portion was part of the article, not my words (and I didn't post that quoted portion of the article, I just posted the link to the article - I think an admin edited my post).
