      When my wife had knee surgery, in pre-op they gave her a special marker to write “Yes” and “No” on the knee to be operated on and the the knee NOT to be operated on. I got the impression that is becoming common in better hospitals.

      (The special marker is healthier than a Sharpie – no nasty solvent & fumes for starters.)

  1. Indeed a useful post about medical mistakes, It’s best to learn from other’s mistakes than to feel the urge to commit one by oneself & then think of learning. I think we’ve all made some of these mistakes to some degree or another.
