Hospital Sorry for Mastectomy 'Mixup'Mistake resulted in the amputation of a healthy woman's breasts
Its malpractice insurers are really sorry.
The hospital says the right woman has been contacted and treated.
We are faced with the question of what's worse: the fact the one woman had unnecessary, life-complicating surgery or the fact that another was walking around with an extremely dangerous cancer yet believed herself fine because she'd had all the right tests, seen all the right doctors and been told she was ok. An ugly situation all 'round.
