Speaker 1 (00:00):
It is Mojo in the morning.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
This is one of those situations where I have had
a surgical procedure done, or I've actually gone in for
a medical procedure, and I've always been amazed when they'll
ask you a million times your name, date of birth,
and then they'll ask you what is it that you're
getting done. And I always think that when they do
that to me, they're trying to see if I'm like
full in them or something, or not the right person.

(00:24):
And then I hear this story and I realize, no,
they're trying to make sure they don't have a major
medical screw up.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
What happened?

Speaker 3 (00:30):
So I had to have a surgery last week. Dad,
If you are listening, I feel weird talking about this
on the art because my dad isn't even aware that
this is happening, and he's a worry where I am fine.
I am going to be fine. Just turn off the
radio so I can't call you later and talk to
you about it. But I had to have a biopsy
you last week, excuse me, where they took several They

(00:52):
were going to take several tissue samples and send them
away to pathology or whatever. It was not a fun
surgical procedure whatsoever. And there were a lot of tests
that have led up to that point as well. You
heard me talking about this MRI. I was afraid of
this is all figuring into that. So this has been
a process. I have the biopsy, and then after the biopsy,

(01:15):
a couple of days later, I had to go back
and get an MRI to make sure that the place
that they buyop seed and they also put a marker
in there as well to kind of keep track of
what is going on in this area of my body.
So the MRI was to make sure that the place
they buyop seed and the place where they put the
marker matched up to the spot that was in question

(01:37):
from all of the other testing that I had had
leading up to this point. And I kept asking him like,
do I really need to get this done, Like this
is basically double checking the work that was done, and
my doctor and the nurses were like, yes, this is
standard procedure, we have to do this. I went in
for the MRI last week and I even made a
joke to the two MRI technicians who are both listeners.

(02:00):
By the way, Hi, I'm like, has it ever happened
that when you double check this that they actually did
the surgery in the wrong place, And both of them
laughed it off and they're like, no, no, Well, I
guess I'm the first wow because they did the pro
they did the biopsy and put the marker in the

(02:22):
wrong place. So now I am back at square one?
Is that not wild?

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (02:29):
So how did they did they find that out when
they went back in there again and did it or what?

Speaker 1 (02:36):
Like, how did that? How did you find? First off,
who broke the news to you that that happened?

Speaker 3 (02:40):
Well, it gets updated in like your medical charts are
all available online and a lot of the different hospital systems,
you get a little email saying, hey, you have an
update to your medical chart. And so I got that
and I went in and I read it, and I'm like,
wait a second, I feel like I'm reading this wrong
because to me, they're saying that they the two don't

(03:03):
match up where they did the surgery and what they
were kind of focused on. And I'm like, there's no
way to the point where I put the results in
chat GPT and said what does this mean? And chat
GPT confirmed it was not right.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
It was done on the wrong spot.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
So then I sent it to a nurse friend of
mine and I said, am I reading this wrong? Am
I crazy? And She's like, nope, it was It's wrong.
How in the actual heck.

Speaker 4 (03:26):
How do they f this up? And do they have
a did they give you like? This is what we
did wrong, this is how we messed up. What explanation
can they provide?

Speaker 3 (03:36):
Well, the explanation is that it was wrong. Now I
have to figure out what to do moving forward because
obviously I am not super trusting right of this particular place,
which I'm not going to say because but.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
Wow, you know, it's funny.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
I've seen those stories before and I've always wondered, are
you okay?

Speaker 3 (04:03):
I am going to be fine? Okay, yeah, thank you
for asking. Yes, I'm going to be fine. But I
want to hear the stories of like, well, did they
take off the wrong toe for you?

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Make me feel better here.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
I've seen those stories where that has happened, and it
got It has gotten me to laugh whenever I've gone
in because I've gone in for shoulder surgery recently, I've
had knee surgery, I've had heart surgery, and I always
laugh when I've gone in for all of my surgeries,
shout out Michigan Medicine.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
Love you guys.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
They'll come in and they will pick a sharpie marker
and go and they'll literally they'll do the air you're
getting and they'll say to you in the thing of
its chart for what you know, you're having your left shoulder,
you know whatever, and they'll tell you and you go, yes,
I am, and they'll go, Okay, that's what you know, right, yes, okay,
that's what I says here boom, and then they do

(04:58):
the thing right there. Because I don't know if the
left and the right get a little different. No, but
you know what I mean, Like they're doing so many
procedures and stuff and they don't want to screw it up.
But that's wild channing the wrong tooth. Honestly, I would
rather have it be my too, like if I can choose.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
Anything, Yeah, and that was that was one of the things.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
Too.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
Well, now I'm like, oh gosh, I'm back at square one.
I don't have any answers. And also, this was not
a fun procedure to have, and I'm thinking, oh my god,
I am not doing that again.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
But I have to what did doctor Warner think when
that happened, because he obviously had to send you to
somebody else.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
Was he passed? Yeah, he's not He's not happy. No, Yeah,
I can only imagine doctor Warren.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
And by the way, I was Warner is the best
doctor in the whole entire world.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
One of the things I've always realized with Mark and
how great he is. He holds us like where his family,
you know, and he does that with every one of
his patients. I could just see how upset he must
have been when that happened. What's up, Chaz?

Speaker 1 (05:58):
How you doing pretty good?

Speaker 5 (06:01):
How are you? Good morning?

Speaker 1 (06:02):
Everyone morning? What's going on? Buddy? We're talking about this?

Speaker 4 (06:06):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Did you get the wrong leg taken off? I mean,
what's the story?

Speaker 5 (06:10):
So I was talking with my mom a few years ago,
and I was talking about the whole like I wonder
if anybody's had a bad surgery or whatever, and she's like, actually,
your aunt went to go get operated on, and they
did all the martians and whatnot on her left knee,
verified everything and whatnot. When she woke up, her right
knee was the one that was operated on.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
How did.

Speaker 5 (06:33):
I have absolutely no idea? But she did sue and
she ended up winning so quick.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
Questions and when they go in there, don't they notice
that it's that it's normal like that.

Speaker 5 (06:45):
You think, like, honestly, I have no idea, and that
has to be like such a big screw up on
somebody's part, Like it's right in front of you. Open
your eyes a little bit and do the right thing.
She's actually the one that when when SeaWorld had that
that drowning with that orca that pulled that lady under.
She's the one that actually called Osha and was the

(07:08):
one that had that whole situation go down and everything.
It was pretty crazy, man.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
So she said a wild life, hasn't she?

Speaker 5 (07:14):
She? She? She sure has bad operation? Getn't getting fired
from jobs?

Speaker 2 (07:20):
Does she go in the sea World vacation with the
money she made from the bad surgery?

Speaker 5 (07:24):
She does? She does not support them in one bit.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
Okay, I was going to say, like where where did she? Yeah,
all of a sudden, I went all this money, I'm
not to be traveling the world.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
She bought her own work. Uh, what's up, Sherry, Hi,
it's moche on the morning.

Speaker 5 (07:39):
How are you good?

Speaker 1 (07:40):
What's going on?

Speaker 6 (07:42):
When I had my second son, when they put the
epidirl in, they numbed me from my chest up, not
my waist out.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
Oh my god.

Speaker 6 (07:52):
When when they went to put to take the epi
girl needle out to replace it, they snapped the needle
off in my spine.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
That the epidurala was such a I was so terrified
of that and anything happening that that to me is
a worst nightmare situation.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
Is this, Jerry? What did you? What did you get
in your settlement?

Speaker 6 (08:18):
Nothing? They got me while I was all drugged up
to sign off and I didn't have to pay for
that delivery.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
And the lawyers say that that's the case. That's nuts, yep, Because.

Speaker 6 (08:29):
They got me when I was drugged up and I
signed off on it, so that probably probably one hundred
plus thousand they get. They took care of nine thousand
dollars worth.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
Help me, what's going on, Katie?

Speaker 5 (08:46):
Hi?

Speaker 4 (08:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (08:47):
So I had a lump in one of my breasts
and right before the surgery, the surgeon came in to
mark me up on which side and I did the
wrong one and I was like, wholloa, it's the other one.
So it was corrected, but absolutely terrify because I was
like panicking beforehand and I was like, that's not the
right side.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
Yeah, and that's it. That's not a fun.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Marie. What's up?

Speaker 8 (09:11):
Hey, guys. So I had a my niece was able
to say, my niece, we're supposed to go in for
an ovarian sister removal and they actually ended up doing
a hysterectomy on her.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
Oh my god.

Speaker 8 (09:24):
Yeah. Well at the time she was only seventeen. Oh yeah.
So of course depression and the lawsuits are great, you know,
but that was a rough one because we went through
we had everything marked. It was just a simple procedure
for assist you know, removal. And she comes out and

(09:45):
now she's completely infertile.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
Is horrible.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
How much money did she did she get in a
in a legal battle.

Speaker 6 (09:55):
She she she's.

Speaker 8 (09:56):
Good, she's good, her kids are good. We actually went
with a very an attorney in Michigan and she ended
up getting a little over a mill and once they
take their stuff, a little over seven hundred.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
See, I would think that's a way more than a
million dollar settlement. I would think that's tens of millions
of dollars.

Speaker 8 (10:12):
Well, this was a long time ago. This is about
twenty years ago.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
There's there's that guy that the guy that got burned
at the uh uh at the Kroger that was working
at the Kroger got twenty some million dollars.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
Or whatever it was, or from that refrigerator from.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
The refrigerator thing.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
I think being infertile for the rest of your life
by a mistake like that is something that should definitely
be paid.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
What's up, Jackie.

Speaker 5 (10:39):
Hi?

Speaker 9 (10:40):
First time, long time away. But when I was younger,
there was a routine console surgery and they forgot to
take out a sliver of my consoles so it still
like swells and I get stripped and stuff like that
on that one part that has that my tonsils still in.

Speaker 6 (11:00):
Man.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
See, this is where the robots need to come in.

Speaker 7 (11:03):
Bro.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
I hate to say it.

Speaker 9 (11:05):
Yeah, you need to retire these type of errors.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
They can't happen.

Speaker 4 (11:10):
Like it's one thing for me to order my Jets
pizza and they come, you know what I'm saying with
some olives that I didn't order. It's a whole other
thing for you to have to go inside of my
body and remove something and you don't remove the right thing,
or you only get a piece of it. Like there
has to be more accountability or consequences.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
This should not happen. It's obviously human error, but still
bro it depends.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
On how hungry you are, though you really wanting the
pepperoni pizza.

Speaker 7 (11:41):
No.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
I will say this though, that you think that that
we have it crazy where staffing is tough and everything.
The problem is the human error is also bad with
a lot of cases where there's a lot of people
that probably you know, that left the field, the medical field.
I think COVID kind of changed things a little bit
too with how people are looking. I have such huge

(12:04):
love for anybody that is in the medical field, especially
after what they dealt with in twenty twenty. But you know,
I think these things are hopefully less frequent than we
ever hear about.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
It's just hard when you know the person that had
happened to

Speaker 3 (12:17):
Yeah, And I mean, at this point, I just want
some answers.
