I even heard of an eye surgeon who removed a patient's healthy eye instead of the other one by mistake. I also agree with the above post's question of "How is that even possible?"

This doctor hasn't gotten away with anything, yet. I'd go out on a limb and say there's going to be serious ramifications to him/her for this negligence.
