“Jason Kennedy was left horrified after he woke from surgery to discover the ‘wrong leg’ had been amputated. While a review is underway, he has now accepted that his left leg is gone
A man was left in shock after waking up from surgery to find that surgeons had mistakenly amputated the wrong leg. Jason Kennedy, 48, a former commercial fisherman, had gone to Grace Hospital in Manitoba, Canada, for a scheduled operation to remove his right leg due to a severe bone infection.
Kennedy, who hails from Bloodvein First Nation but now resides in Winnipeg, the capital of Manitoba, initially visited Seven Oaks General Hospital on October 23 due to pain and bleeding in his right foot. The decision to amputate at Grace Hospital was made on October 28, with the procedure taking place on October 31.
It was only after the operation that he discovered his left leg had been removed. He said: “I was just wondering if this was a bad dream. The pain is still in my [right] foot and it’s there right now as we speak”
