That residual piece of appendix can get appendicitis again.

How can you honestly believe that? and btw, he would still be suing his ex employer. duh. I think he should sue both. seems like a pretty open and close case to me. you can't be fired due to medical reasons. I don't think it would be to hard for him to PROVE he had surgery TWICE. haha. kinda makes you wonder what the doctor took out the first time. skipweasel.

Not getting the correct change at the lunch counter is a mistake. Failure to remove an organ that is failing and can kill you if it is not removed is negligence.

This wasn't a simple mistake, they just didn't take out his appendix! It's as if the surgeon had cut him open and then asked around the room what they were doing, whereupon everyone just shrugged and they stitched him back up. Not acceptable at all. What if something more serious had happened? The hospital deserves to get sued in this case. I have to agree with Gail here. This wasn’t a simple mistake, they just didn’t take out his appendix!
