  • Florida surgeon ‘devastated’ over death of patient after removing liver instead of spleen

    Jump

  • Boom. That's all I need to hear.

    Florida health officials detail another incident leading to patient harm. Just two months before the fatal surgery, Dr. Shaknovsky had operated on a 58-year-old man, removing a portion of his pancreas instead of the adrenal gland during an adrenalectomy, according to Florida's Department of Health.

    Dr. Shaknovsky documented removing the left adrenal gland and later claimed the adrenal gland had "migrated." The patient suffered permanent harm from this error, department of health officials said. The Florida Department of Health suspended Dr. Shaknovsky's license in September 2024, according to public records.

    Alright, fuck this guy.

    I figure, if he were a good surgeon & made a bad mistake, that's one thing.

  • because why would anybody look for justice in a court of law

    Hi, yes, please work on your reading comprehension - "closure" is not "justice". A payout and a lost license isn't going to bring her husband back.

  • I'm all for admitting I misread something, but if you read the article, the real bleeding started before the mistake. Surgeon was wrist-deep in blood, can't see what he has his hands on, and thinks the enlarged spleen is the liver. They've been wrestling with the bleeding for 20 minutes, so everyone is now in a panic. Then the mistake, no?

    It's an awful situation, but folks around here are acting like the guy was inept or trying to avoid responsibility or something. Seems to me like this could happen to any decent surgeon with the right conditions.

  • Ope. A commenter has pointed out the surgeon has a record of ineptness. Please disregard this defense of him and continue with your torches & pitchforks.

    I was ready to ridicule the guy, but before the mistake the patient had been bleeding profusely:

    > “It was like a overflown sink that’s clogged up, and I am looking for a fork at the bottom, trying to feel and find the bleed, and I was not able to do so,” Shaknovsky said. He added: “After 20 minutes of struggling – desperately trying – to save his life, that’s when the wrong-site event took place.

    Emphasis mine. The article says there's some debate on the size of the spleen when it was removed, too.

    I didn't see anywhere that he attempted to "cover it up". It was mislabeled during the chaos. Afterwards he saw the mistake, has admitted to it, and is rightfully tortured by it. I hope the widow finds closure, but I doubt it'll come from a lawsuit.

    I'm sure it's not "juice-ika" like my brain says.

  • Scientology ‘speed running’ trend has LA abuzz and church unhappy

    Jump

  • Defectors, including the actor Leah Remini, have accused the church of fostering a culture of abuse.

    Last week, Remini weighed in on the social media trend, calling it “unhelpful”.

    “If someone is brainwashed for years into believing the outside world is filled with dangerous lunatics who wish to impede Scientology, a group of people running through a Scientology building is only going to confirm that belief and lead them to dedicate themselves even more to the cause they believe in,” Remini wrote on X.

    “Please focus on exposing the dangers of Scientology, not making a spectacle out of it.”

    Yep. This is the kind of stuff a cult would use as ammunition to prove to its members that the outside world is unsafe.

  • tl;dr - Backblaze announced at one point they've stopped backing up files associated with sync services like OneDrive. The author discovered they also don't back up .git folders.

    Which, yeah - the second your backup solution starts getting picky with what to backup, it's time to move on. Shame, I had heard a lot of good things about them.
