without any plan.


Never hurst to have a failsafe :)

My surgeon, when fixing a hernia, drew a massive arrow on one leg with
a magic marker, whilst I was still awake to confirm which bit he was
supposed to be fixing, before I was wheeled in. Makes sense as he was
spending all day doing those...


My understanding is that these days at least three people check that the
surgeon is about to cut the correct leg off the correct patient.
Including asking the patient.


Wonder if they did that on Victory…

This seems to be the norm here in Norway too. My surgeon visited in
the morning before I was drugged to put a big X on the correct
shoulder.

Me too. In fluorescent pink magic marker which was a bu88er to get off.

Not what you want as an 8yo who is already sore about not being able to play
rugby for some weeks!

When I had my broken shoulder fixed the anaesthetist was the one with
the marker but he saw the bruising and decided that it was obvious
where the problem was.

My arrows were a symmetrical pair.

Hopefully they weren't upside down, or the surgeon might have cut off
your body and just left your legs.
