Osteopathic schools are way more lax on admissions, that can lead to a doctor removing a liver thinking it’s a spleen.
I have a few friends from college who are doctors. The only ones who went to a DO med school went because they were first rejected by an MD med school.

The Doc's hot girlfriend wanted him to supply a liver for her Grandma by any means necessary.

Then I doubt the pathologist slicing it up was a good idea….

I know frickall about surgery, but was there not someone else there who could have spoken up when they started cutting on the wrong side of the body?
I've only had one major surgery. It was more than disconcerting that immediately before the procedure some assistant comes in the room, asks me which side we are operating on, and when I tell them, she takes a sharpie and marks that side of my body.

pretty standard, they usually even make you verbalize it

All potential negative light from a learning environment should go on the residency program here, not the med school
Here is the link for the program

proceeded with labeling the removed liver specimen as a “spleen.
I would have loved to have been in the room when the pathologist put that under the microscope.

Probably something like "this looks a lot like a portal triad" and "i see evidence of hepatic steatosis".
But IDK, im not a pathologist.

i know most of you have never done surgery.
i assure you, if you confuse a spleen and a liver during surgery, you are a fricking moron. Not only are they on different sides of the body, they look completely different and each looks nothing like any other organ in the body.
this "surgeon" should go to jail. I've met a lot of MDs that im surprised made it to adulthood. this doesnt shock me at all.

I mean not necessarily. But yeah in 99% of cases they are on opposite sides with liver on right and spleen on left.
You can get polysplenia, splenosis, situs inversus totalis or partial situs inversus. The distribution of organs in the abdomen can be odd.
Now having said all that, it still doesn’t excuse the surgeon.

How is it possible that not one of the OR nurses / assistants didn't say "Bro, are you sure that's not his liver?" when this happened?
Which is why I’m convinced this is fake. Impossible mistake

Sure, but anybody with "life-threatening" abdominal pain is promptly getting a CT upon walking into any hospital which would have hopefully recognized any anatomical variants. I am more curious as to what led the surgeon to decide to go poking around.

I also wonder why he went straight to removing the spleen (or liver)?
Seems like most people I see come in get their splenic artery embolized. Also seems like some surgeons want it to be embolized before they will even operate since it is such a bloody surgery.

It's not fake when you factor in that he's made a mistake like this before. Confusing the adrenal gland for the pancreas.
