I've never been in that sort of situation, but I really do wonder how I'd react. Hopefully in healthy way.

How do surgeons react when they accidentally cut the wrong thing?

Oh man, finally a chance to plug the book "Do No Harm: Stories of Life, Death, and Brain Surgery" by Henry Marsh.

Marsh chronicles his career, and includes (at least) one story about the slip of the scalpel and the... result.

Highly recommended.

Cool. This is why I love HN :)

I'll make sure my soon-to-be MD girlfriend reads it too
