Wrong Site Surgery: A Mistake That Should Never Happen
Undergoing surgery is a vulnerable experience. Patients trust their healthcare providers to operate with precision and care. When surgeons perform on the wrong site—whether it’s the wrong arm, leg, or organ—that trust is shattered. At Wagar Hickman, we stand with patients whose lives have been irreparably altered by these shocking errors.
