A general surgeon removed William Bryan's liver instead of his spleen, causing his death on the operating room table, according to an attorney for Beverly Bryan.

A Florida surgeon mistakenly removed a man’s liver instead of his spleen, causing him to die on the operating table, a lawyer for the man’s widow alleges.

William Bryan, 70, of Muscle Shoals, Alabama, underwent surgery on Aug. 21, at Ascension Sacred Heart Emerald Coast hospital in Miramar, Florida, because of spleen abnormalities, according to a statement from the personal injury firm Zarzaur Law, based in Pensacola, Florida.

    If you dislike the existence of the state at a fundamental level, I will also accept vigilantes removing his liver.
