Those stories of medical mistakes are so unsettling. I did take notice of some of the safeguards they did… he marked the arm to be operated on. While in the OR and under some sedation they asked me which arm are they were to operate on… I got a little upset and said “shouldn’t you already know!?!”… they of course laughed at me and explained that it was just for verification. Afterwords they also prescribed a course of antibiotics… I guess they do that instead of sanitizing things? @The Village Carpenter

Those screws, according to my son's ACL repair bill, cost about $600 each. Get well soon and pay attention to your physical therapist. Looks like the surgeon did a good job countersinking the screws.
