@yass.unitedstates: Thomas Shaknovsky is facing a manslaughter charge after allegedly removing the wrong organ during surgery, leading to the death of 70-year-old Bill Bryan in Florida in 2024. Investigators say Bryan was supposed to undergo spleen surgery, but the doctor mistakenly removed his liver while trying to stop severe bleeding. In a deposition, Shaknovsky said he was “so upset” during the emergency that he could not tell the difference between the organs. An autopsy later found Bryan’s spleen was untouched, while major damage to a large vein caused the fatal bleeding. The surgeon has since been barred from practicing medicine in Florida and Alabama. #florida #surgeon #patient #killed #surgery
