The mistake came out: in Ohio, doctors accidentally transplanted a kidney to the wrong patient
A hospital in Ohio sent two employees on administrative leave after a patient received a kidney transplant intended for another person. Writes about it USA Today.
Officials at the University Hospitals in Cleveland apologized for the incident and said the patient who received the kidney “is recovering as expected,” the organ is human-compatible.
“We have offered our sincere apologies to these patients and their families,” the statement said. “We understand that they trusted us with their lives.” The situation is completely inconsistent with our commitment to helping patients live their lives to the fullest.”
