NCR Medical mix-ups.

"You need to question your health care provider! I went to my first radiation treatment today, only to find out that I do not need radiation treatments. It seems my Oncologist read the results of another patient. So the next time you have test results given to you be sure its YOU the doctor is talking about."

There have been several cases in the last few ywars of doctors amputating the wrong arm, removing the wrong kidney(the patient died), etc.

One doctor said that if he was going into surgery to have an arm removed, he would use indelible marker to write on the other arm, "Do not remove this arm.".

About a year ago a woman in Great Britian was diagnosed with breast cancer and had surgery scheduled. Six weeks before the operation the doctor decided that she had been mis-diagnosed and didn't need the mastectomy. But he went ahead and did it anyway. She sued and won $6,000,000.
