Hospital removes wrong kidney


Health officials today apologised to a Scottish man whose healthy kidney was removed by mistake.
John Heron, who is in his 60s, now faces having his cancerous kidney removed and will have to undergo years of dialysis.
The error happened when Mr Heron, a garage owner, of Lugton, Ayrshire, was admitted to Ayr hospital earlier this month after a tumour was discovered in one kidney.
Mr Heron's son, John Jr, and his wife, Margaret, said NHS Ayrshire and Arran had made a "disastrous" mistake.
In a statement issued through the board, they said: "We are devastated by the disastrous professional errors that should never have happened.
"We want to ensure that everything is now focused upon providing the best medical experience and care for my father. We want to be sure that no other family experiences this in the future."
The board said it was now planning future medical care for Mr Heron.
Bob Masterton, executive medical director of NHS Ayrshire and Arran, said: "It is with deep regret I can confirm a patient had a healthy kidney removed.
"Our thoughts are with the patient and family, to whom we apologise for this tragic error. Staff are supporting the patient and family in planning for the best possible medical care for Mr Heron in the future."
