About this listen

 Patricia Chen was awake during her surgery, paralyzed but conscious, feeling every cut for forty-seven minutes. Willie King went in to have his diseased left leg amputated—surgeons removed his healthy right leg instead. Darlene Gomez lived with a twelve-inch surgical drape sewn inside her abdomen for six years. Shannon Rodriguez's cosmetic liposuction perforated her intestine, leaving her with permanent disabilities. Episode two examines surgical nightmares where human error transforms healing into horror. Host Lucien Graves documents cases of anesthesia failure, wrong-site amputations, and retained surgical objects with mathematical precision, revealing that hundreds of these catastrophic errors occur annually. Surgery requires absolute trust. Sometimes that trust is fatally misplaced.
