I recently went in for colon cancer surgery and they removed my appendix
while they were at it.
But that was a good thing. Two surgeries for the price of 1.

Every year in the U.S. more than 100,000 people die as a direct result of
mistakes made by doctors.
In addition to that, thousands more are injured/maimed.
Surgical patients get the wrong organs removed, the wrong lims amputated.
There are also those who end up going in for something like a tonsilectomy
and get a leg amputated because someone mixed the charts up.
