Sarajane Parfitt, 55, who is now facing another operation to remove the kidney, suffered severe emotional distress and is vulnerable to infections thanks to the botched operation, according to the suit.
“During this difficult time for patient Sarajane Parfitt and her family members, we offer our sympathy,” Community Regional Medical Center said in a statement to the Fresno Bee . “Because this case is pending, we are unable to comment.” A medical mistake left a Fresno County woman missing the wrong organ after a surgeon operated to remove a diseased kidney, according to a new lawsuit. https://t.co/DDnK70FUVW

Ultimately, five pathologists agreed the organ submitted for examination was a spleen, and not a kidney.
“They called the hospital,” said Parfitt’s attorney Paul Pimentel. “The hospital immediately runs a CT scan and sure enough, her kidney which should’ve been removed, was still there. They’d taken out the wrong organ, her spleen.”

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
