An Argentinian man went to the hospital to have his gallbladder removed, but woke up with a vasectomy. 41-year-old Jorge Base went in to the Florencio Diaz Hospital in Cordoba to have his gallbladder removed on Wednesday, February 28. The mix-up is believed to have occurred because his surgery had been postponed from Tuesday, which was gallbladder day, to Wednesday when vasectomies are performed at the facility. (* This would have been good information to have had up front.) Mr. Base told local news, “I have three grown-up boys who are grown-up but I was dreaming of having a girl.”
* When they told him he had the vasectomy instead, you know what he said? “That’s nuts!”
* He better get the hell out of there before Breast Implant Thursday.
* On the bright side, he saved a lot of money because vasectomies are way cheaper than gallbladder surgery.
* Time to order more anatomy diagrams for the operating rooms.
