Florida surgeon’s shocking excuse for removing the wrong organ from patient, ki*ling him

A Florida doctor accused of removing the wrong organ from a patient, killing him, offered a shocking explanation for why the surgery went so terribly awry.

Dr. Thomas Shaknovsky said his 70-year-old patient William Bryan started to bleed out from an unknown area in the body during a planned laparoscopic splenectomy and the doctor “couldn’t tell the difference” between his spleen and liver “because I was so upset,” according to NBC News.

The 44-year-old general surgeon — who was hit with criminal charges over the death last month — made the shocking admission under oath in November during a grilling by lawyers for Bryan’s wife, Beverly, the outlet reported, citing a transcript of the deposition.

Dr. Thomas Shaknovsky offered a wild explanation for why he removed the wrong organ from William Bryan, killing him.

The widow is suing for malpractice and wrongful death.
