Man collapses with ruptured appendix... three weeks after NHS doctors 'took it out' | Mail Online: "To his shock, surgeons from the same team told him that not only was his appendix still inside him, but it had ruptured - a potentially fatal complication.
In a second operation it was finally removed, leaving Mr Wattson fearing another organ might have been taken out during the first procedure.
The blunder has left Mr Wattson jobless, as bosses at the shop where he worked did not believe his story and sacked him."

Gotta love that British National Health Service.

Now that's an example of something that could NEVER happen in the U.S. Our doctors don't make mistakes, thank goodness; no American doctor or nurse or hospital has ever goofed, and no one ever will. I mean, among those of us who can afford to get any. Who cares if many Americans can't afford even basic health care? It's worth it to deny them care, because denying them means the rest of us always get perfection.
