Surgeon operates on the wrong arm - Telegraph
Extract:
"A civil engineer has been left with both arms in plaster after a surgeon operated on the wrong one.
Simon Savage, 26, is considering suing the hospital where his healthy right arm was confused for his injured left limb.
The medical mix-up happened despite arrows having been painted on him which pointed to the elbow requiring treatment."
