Trust Him He's a Doctor...

just read this story and thought it would be worth sharing:

Surgeon cut off testicle'by mistake' 





A patient lost a testicle during an operation because the surgeon cut it off by mistake, a General Medical Council (GMC) hearing has been told.
Dr Sulieman Al Hourani was only supposed to cut out a cyst, but removed the whole right testicle instead.
Dr Al Hourani was a locum surgeon at Fairfield General Hospital in Bury, Greater Manchester, at the time of the surgery in September 2007.
He is accused of misconduct and also of stealing medication

Now I don't know about you, but i think the stealing medication is a big deal, not a little side note. But then i also think i would be able to spot if my surgeon was off his face.

    I'm not sure if thats all that reassuring "a drugged up doctor cut off one of your balls, but at least you have another one"
