Multiple reports indicate that a tragic interstate medical incident has led the family of the deceased to accuse a doctor of severe malpractice. William Bryan, who lived in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, reportedly passed away after a surgeon in Florida mistakenly removed the incorrect organ during surgery, as reported by AL.com. <\/p>\n<p>William and his wife, Beverly Bryan, were staying at their condo in Destin, Florida when he began experiencing pain on his left side. According to the Pensacola News Journal, he was taken to Ascension Sacred Heart Emerald Coast Hospital in Walton County on August 18. The family&#8217;s attorney, Joe Zarzaur, described what followed as &#8220;one of the most egregious cases of medical malpractice&#8221; he has encountered.<\/p>\n<p>While doctors discussed potential risks with the Bryans\u2014suggesting it was too risky to move him due to concerns about his spleen rupturing\u2014they ultimately convinced them to proceed with surgery instead of returning home for treatment. The procedure performed by Dr. Thomas Shaknovsky was intended as a hand-assisted laparoscopic splenectomy; however, complications arose when he mistakenly removed Bryan&#8217;s liver instead.<\/p>\n<p>The Pensacola outlet reported that this error resulted in significant blood loss and ultimately led to Mr. Bryan&#8217;s death due to transecting major blood vessels supplying the liver during surgery. Alarmingly, Dr. Shaknovsky initially misidentified the removed organ as a spleen.<\/p>\n<p>Zarzaur found this case so shocking that he shared details on YouTube regarding its severity. In response to these allegations, hospital officials stated they are conducting an extensive investigation into what occurred while emphasizing their commitment to providing safe care since opening in 2003.<\/p>\n<p>Beverly Bryan expressed her devastation over her husband&#8217;s death at the hands of Dr. Shaknovsky and voiced her desire for no one else to suffer from similar incompetence at their facility<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2336855,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Surgeon-removes-wrong-organ.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[40128,32746,40127,40125,40126],"class_list":["post-2336854","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-attorney-news","tag-man-dies","tag-medical-malpractice","tag-operating-table","tag-surgeon-error"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Surgeon-removes-wrong-organ.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2336854","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2336854"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2336854\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2336855"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2336854"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2336854"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2336854"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
