Bleeding Eyeball
The patient had surgery on his right eye, but he came back from OR with his left eyeball bleeding. Concerned that the wrong eye might have been operated on, the patient wanted the surgeon called to find out what happened. The surgeon explained that the correct eye had been operated on, but he had also injected something into the other eye. We assume that he had a good reason. I'm not sure which is more disturbing, seeing an eyeball bleed, knowing why it's doing that, or looking in the chart and not finding a consent for the eyeball injection.

The good eye had been operated on two weeks earlier, but was healing slowly, so the doctor injected a steroid into the eye to help the healing process.
