Bad Surgery - Gross Anatomy

What this episode covers

We discuss surgeons…the bad, the unlicensed and the fictional. Including, a surgeon who performed a splenectomy and removed a patient’s liver —not their spleen! And, a woman who suffered lidocaine toxicity under the care of a "doctor" who wasn't licensed to practice. Then, we take a 'which TV doctor are you?' quiz and discuss our results.
