Bike accident blunder

A Tanzanian hospital has mixed up two patients who share the same first name, resulting in a surgery blunder.

Emmanuel Didas, who was admitted for a knee operation after a motorbike accident, is now unconscious in intensive care after head surgery.
Meanwhile, chronic migraine sufferer Emmanuel Mgaya is recovering from an unplanned knee operation.
Some angry relatives are demanding a full investigation into the incident at Muhimbili Hospital in Dar es Salaam.
Doctors at Muhimbili National and Referral Hospital are unwilling to comment on the incident which occurred last week, but was not officially reported. The Ministry of Health and Social Welfare says it has ordered an inquiry into the medical blunder.

Ha indeed,but similar blunders have happened in this country too.I recall a wrong kidney removed,and the wrong leg amputated,as well as the odd baby mix up in maternity

I am due an operation on my knee on the 13th December! Now I'm really worried. What if they open my head to find my brain has been washed by the govenment?

Most blokes keep their brains somewhere down between their legs anyway,so they wont find anything if they open up your head.

Do you think whilst they were operating on his brain they were thinking
"he should get the knee looked at too while he's in hospital"

Dude I feel for you, I was light duty this year casue I had surgery I was climbing the walls by the second day!! I mean OMG I hate being stuck in places like that.....my bike kept me sane.

I do what I do to escape offices, I now go and run very quickly out them, last time I went into an office I err stired things up a bit, was actually very funny I mange from my err chat with that office person, to get an email sent around the entire area where I work from big, big boss about what happened!

The worst bit is they want to stick me an office next year for 7 months! I really don't think thye know what they are doing by sending me there

Oops
