Florida Doctor Allegedly Removed Patient's Liver Instead of Spleen, Killing Him

Medical license should be revoked. I know the difference between a spleen and a liver, and a pancreas and an adrenal gland. I've only had 1 College level Anatomy and Physiology course. The Pancreas is located in the front, adrenal glands are located on your back and sides above your kidneys. Despicable.
Guys, my side job has been temporarily put on the back burner. Anyone know of a good attorney?
Initially I was thinking this was one of those deals where the guy couldn’t pay his bill….
So tell me, can an organ inside the body migrate from one side to the other without massive trauma?
It appears that the doctor previously worked as a pathologist before changing.his specialty to general surgery and he flashed back long enough to believe he was performing an autopsy. Old habits are hard to break…..

The idiot needs to do time in prison for negligent homicide, there's no excuse for a eff up like that.
It mentions it in the article, but the spleen is way different in size than the liver. Both have major and minor vasculature, but the liver is big time major. This is not a minor screw up and those are some jacked medical malpractice laws. The liver is the purple oblong object below the lungs and heart. The spleen is covered up by the liver in this view if I'm remembering my anatomy correctly (I actually tested out of that class).
