Because in Florida!

I mean I mistook a spleen for a small kidney at an anatomy exam many years ago. In my defense may have been absent the day we did spleens and the preparation method made everything a grayish yellow brown color.

I may not have passed my first year anatomy exam, like the surgeon. But I still think that I could tell a large red brownish liver, in the front of a persons right side abdomen, from a kidney shaped organ a fifth the size of a liver, residing in the extreme left of the person's abdominal cavity.

For some reason that title made me think I was in the Dadjokes sub and I was expecting to read some dad jokes inside.

The only surgery I've had there were two surgeons in the room-- they were a team and worked together as a rule. I wish every procedure could have even a casual zoom surgical partner as a check. Think of the surgeon who was tying knots wrong his whole career -- would have been a single mistake and then corrected.
