A viral medical error occurred when a man went to the hospital with clear intentions to undergo gallbladder removal surgery, but accidentally underwent a vasectomy procedure instead. Vasectomy is a surgical procedure performed to permanently make a man sterile or unable to father a child by cutting or blocking the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles to the penis.

This article will describe the tragic events experienced by the man, as well as delve into the psychological impact and legal consequences that may arise as a result of this unexpected medical error. To find out more about this event, let's read the following article!

Translated text: "It all started with Jorge Baseto, who is 41 years old, going to Florencio Díaz Provincial Hospital in Cordoba, Argentina, to undergo his gallbladder operation. The operation was scheduled for Tuesday, February 28th, but due to circumstances beyond his control, Jorge's operation was postponed until Wednesday. That was the beginning of a small incident that caused a medical negligence scandal to go viral and affect the entire country."

On the day of the operation, hospital staff entered the patient's room and took Jorge to the operating room without asking anything or even checking Jorge's card. When they arrived in the operating room, the doctors also did not check his card. After that, they performed the scheduled operation for that day, which was a vasectomy. When Jorge woke up from the surgery, he couldn't remember what had happened. Then a doctor came to examine him, and after looking at his card, Jorge was very surprised to learn that he had undergone a vasectomy instead of the scheduled hernia operation.

The man remained silent for a few moments and started to panic, but he didn't have much time for it because he was going to undergo a second operation that he should have received from the beginning, which is gallbladder surgery.

After his second operation, Jorge Baseto sought to find out how the mistake happened and what could be done to reverse the vasectomy. The doctors blamed each other for the mistake and told Jorge not to be too dramatic about the situation, as he could still have children through artificial insemination if he wanted to. However, due to his age and the size of the blocked tubes, the chances of success are very slim, so it is not worth trying.

Lawyer Jorge, Diego Larrey, said that his client is devastated. Although he is a father of two boys, he has plans to try to have a child with his new partner in the future. They clearly want to have offspring naturally, but now they only have the option of artificial sperm injection.
