Doctors amputated the wrong leg of an elderly man during surgery, at a hospital in Austria.
The 82 year old was supposed to have his left leg removed, but due what doctors are calling “human error” the right leg was amputated instead.
The error was a result of a hospital worker mistakenly putting a preoperative mark on the wrong leg, the hospital said.
