A hospital patient wakes up after an operation to see a whole bunch of grim-looking medical staff staring down at him.
At the other end of the bed, equally grim-faced, stands the surgeon who performed the operation. He looks young and inexperienced.
“OK, tell me the worst, Doc. Am I going to pull through?” he patient demands to know.
“Well, I have some bad news….and I have some good news,” the surgeon begins.
“Well, t-t-tell me the bad news first,” the patient responds in a state of confusion.
“We appear to have amputated the wrong leg.”
“Oh, my God, no, no….you haven’t?!”"Yes, I’m afraid so. But cheer up now and let’s look on the bright side. The good news is that we won’t have to amputate the other leg after all.”
