1:43 dude but you get a toothache and they pull out the wrong tooth but they're fud dude but they're fuzz it's like northern style too with the flat noodles love that ████ yeah the fresh noodles i was i was shocked i was like yo dude there's like there's like five vietnamese restaurants that are solid i was so surprised shout out to ████ vienna dude you go there you need a c-section they give you implants or some ████ everybody's all mixed up if you needed to get surgery done at least you know there's good fun in vienna yeah aside from the fur so the patient attended the clinic in may to have his leg amputated but the surgeon marked the wrong limb for amputation okay so the mistake was identified during a routine bandage change and the patient was told he would have to have his other leg amputated as well at the time the hospital said the incident had occurred as a result of
2:34 sequence of a sequence of unfortunate circumstances and its director made a public apology at the news conference in court the surgeon said there had been a flaw in the chain of command in the operating theater and when asked why she had marked the right leg and not the left she said i just don't know they should chop this fool's legs off what they said i don't know she said i just i wonder if she did so much surgery that she's like i don't even ████ remember this ████ that's why you gotta look at the ████ chart this is gonna make you love european more since the incident she's moved to another clinic and half of her fine has been suspended oh so she's totally like without totally fine oh good we make mistakes in a way it seems like europe's hella chill they're forgiving yeah they're kind of forgiving um wrong legs like you have to have your other one that's like oh word all right
3:24 cool hey but can i get some fun after this northern style please that's why it took him two days to realize you know what blows my mind though like two days is crazy the culture is so uh different just by driving like an hour away because i mean the czech republic is right next to austria right you could take like a i don't know like a couple hour train ride and it's a completely different culture i mean for us it's like wow because in the states you drive six hours you're still in america and the culture's a little different but i mean it's like you went from ████ liberal to republican whatever you know everyone still goes to walmart and ████ and shops but out there it's like different dudes yeah languages change clothes change people the way look change walmart's the same but yes it's walmart here you go in state to state
4:15 there it's country to country that's what's next door yeah oh yeah that's true and it's like the distance of ████ new jersey to new york you know it's like the ████ i guess you could just drive to mexico if you want that and that is different is it though because when i've been to mexico and sometimes i feel like l.a is mexico but they don't got the northern flow though you know what i mean no no it's not the flat noodles dude you like the flat noodles that's delicious what would you do if you were the widow though she's like hey by the way i accidentally cut the wrong leg off of your spout i'm in austria i can't do ████ yeah yeah it depends on where you are man you can't just you might talk too much and they cut your arm off in america this ████ oh dude you're ████ a billionaire yeah they're gonna deposit bitcoin in your account yeah i don't know what the result of this was back in 95 a doctor in the us discovered halfway through surgery that he was amputating
5:05 the wrong leg of a diabetic patient so did he go through with it he was forced to continue after having already cut through muscles tendons and ligaments oh yeah cause ████ it's done what did he do at the end oh spaghetti oh yeah let me see if i can find any uh settlement issues with this stuff this is back in the night this is kind of traumatizing how do you but how do i get surgery what if they got the wrong ball dude the right lower leg then what do you do they gotta get the other ball or they added skin instead of taking it you said you needed reverse circumcision so this person got a settlement of 900 thousand dollars um from the from the from the hospital uh back in 95. that's america the 900 000 uh settlement and then also another quarter million dollars from i believe the doctor over a million dollars in the 90s man that's like ████ 10 million now i'm inflating the ████ out of it but still it really is where i was ████ in asha
5:56 they're like giving the widow like 5 000 euros and get a nice austrian shrug they're like yes this person was dying on the way out anyway ████ the legs but then she just left the job and went to another clinic and they're like yeah you don't have to pay said the catholic church dude and you're sending them around same ████ happens when the ████ coach at your high school has sex with a student yep they just go to a different school different school just like the priests too yep damn just rotate dude i wonder what they see in our system that's appalling yeah everything that a catholic church for us it's we see them right you cut off the wrong like oh that's just a five thousand dollar i got ████ parking tickets that are five thousand dollars what do they see over here that's like that's crazy where we do they're probably just like wait so you're saying that you had to pay for your surgery in the first place oh yeah yeah they're like your surgery was three hundred thousand dollars but i got the
6:46 right leg yeah yeah you get better quality surgery right yeah in a way i don't get my eyeballs taken out that's true i don't even know what's worth it what is better quality surgery yeah we had ████ like nadine go to ████ turkey in order to get new veneers you know what i'm saying like they look nice though they're what i'm saying based in price and and we're talking about penicillin you know like and ████ insulin or all that ████ but we also got insurance like if we were to cut her leg off it wouldn't even be 300 000. we only got insurance because of the capitalist concept right and the doctor has insurance like prepared in case he ████ up so it's like everywhere that cause then the doctors get sued all day long you know i um hospitals are actually super expensive and all that ████ too is because they have to pay the bills for all the suing that they get so it's actually really just a twisted web of ████ hidden behind morality so we're all getting ████ everyone's getting where realistically it's actually easier if you just amputate the wrong leg every now and then in this country and nobody sees well that's true
7:36 if it's wrong leg ratio yeah but how do you ████ up the wrong leg though you go like this make a mistake that one but like there's no due diligence like there's no ████ double checking you know even with that there's human error you know like yes doctor could have been tired but the sticks are so high you know might not be any double checking it might be double jeopardy that's true but but apparently like they they have the schedules where they make sure that they don't do ████ five uh certain maybe that's why she got fined for negligence because like she didn't follow pro and they gotta have other people that are checking on it right too right not just her doing it yeah it's like a whole team right the ████ that blows my mind is like when people come back from surgeries and they have like the doctor's cell phone like in their guts or like there's still tools in there or like their watches in there and it's like they got a fidget spinner on the ████ liver yeah how the ████ did that get in there
8:26 that's just crazy the doctor is just like where did i put that watch i was trying to make a tick tock and ████ and he was like oops that's gone let me just they'll absorb it and then they suck and so they'll poop it out or something like good doctors y'all never had any surgeries go wrong in your life nope thank goodness i'm blessed america i know god bless america geo got her meniscus uh taken out and um so she they have the chart and then they marked it with the permanent marker and i was there to double check too and i made sure the note the nurse knew so they they mark it so because i guess it happens a little see permanent marker that's what they need and they drew it and make sure confirm with the patient again confirm what the nurse come from with the doctor they mark the wrong leg from the start now you know what happened is they they marked it with a dry erase marker and they got erased and
9:17 then they all got confused they just did the uh they just put them under put them to sleep first and they're like wait wait you forgot to ask [Laughter] which leg is the right leg it's gotta be the right way because it's the right one right right that's right right it's not wrong yeah that's left okay or maybe it was like the right leg and they're like you're right or they're left yeah what now i'm a little more empathetic yeah i get it i get it it's a hard job it's our job can they just give them coffee and wake them up and ask them again yes excuse me i forgot what it was you know and you just never wake up they should just do the glory hole method just stick whatever correct leg it is through a ████ hole so that all the guy sees is all right which legs cut i don't even know if that's left or right
10:07 [Laughter] if they get erect [Music] you
