A patient bloke went in for a gallbladder op, only for docs to give him a vasectomy.

Jorge Base went into the hospital for the scheduled surgery

It was supposed to take place on Tuesday (27 Feb), but for some reason, it ended up being changed to Wednesday (28 Feb).

According to lawyer, Diego Larrey, the blunder happened because the hospital was performing vasectomies that day.

He told local media: “He fell into the pile for vasectomies, and without asking him anything, they took him to the operating room.”

The lawyer went on: “They didn’t take his details, they took him to the operating table and operated on him.

“When he woke up, a doctor told him, ‘Oh, but you were supposed to have a gallbladder operation and they did a vasectomy on you.’

“And then he was subjected to another operation.”

When Jorge, 41, woke up “he was in a state of shock,” Mr Larrey said.

The lawyer said medical staff at the hospital in Córdoba, Argentina, tried to “calm him down.”

“They told him that through insemination he could still have children,” he said.

But, when it came to responsibility for the blunder, claimed Larrey, “they were blaming each other”.

The lawyer said neither hospital managers nor health officials had contacted Jorge to give him an explanation.

Jorge himself told local media: “A lot of questions are swirling in my head.

“You can’t understand how they could be so negligent.

“It’s a huge mistake.”

He said the medics had told him the chances of reversing the op were poor because of his age and because “the duct they have to operate on is very small”.

Jorge went on: “They told me that at the moment they operated on me, they weren’t performing gallbladder surgeries in the operating room but vasectomies.

“This was on Wednesday.

“It’s very strange because my file clearly stated gallbladder surgery everywhere.

“All they had to do was read it, it’s not rocket science.”

Jorge says no one’s taken responsibility for the debacle.

He said: “They focus on telling you, ‘Don’t worry, you can still have a child through insemination.’”
