I didn't read the article, I heard it on the news and my blood ran cold.
I think you are all too kind! When I have had major surgeries, I always remember 2 nurses coming in beforehand and having one read out the tag numbers from my ankle tag AND my wrist tag out loud to each other to ensure I am the right person about to go into theatre. In fact I think this happened more than once each op.
Why don't they have the same procedures in place in a fricken lab place thingo where the transfers etc happen????????
