An Alabama man tragically lost his life at a Destin hospital after a surgeon mistakenly removed his liver instead of his spleen, leading to catastrophic blood loss. The incident left his wife of 33 years heartbroken and advocating for civil and criminal charges against the surgeon.
“I don’t want anyone else to die due to his incompetence at a hospital that should have known or knew he had previously made drastic, life-altering surgical mistakes,” she said at a press conference.
The man, William Bryan, a 70-year-old from Muscle Shoals, Alabama, was visiting his condo in Destin, Florida, when he began experiencing severe pain on his left side.
