Oops . . . we transplanted the wrong kidney!?

See this link:

The article goes on to say that "no harm was done" because (very fortunately!)  the kidney was a "close-enough" match to work for the person who received it . . . thank God!  Luckily, the intended recipient of the "misplaced" kidney received one a few days later.  This could have been so much worse than it was.  I am thinking many things about all this, but let's just say this: right now, my words fail me!  Thank you Cristy, for bringing this to my attention.
