It's time for Donkey of the Day. We in the Bronx! You can just talk in the background! Suck my... Y'all not shutting us down! We in the car course! The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all the... Why does the Sunshine State consistently produce such strange news?

If I catch y'all ass in traffic, I whip her, my genie out, y'all don't suck. It is just one of the many wacky news stories out of Florida. On The Breakfast Club. Oh, man. Oh, Lord. Donkey of the Day for Wednesday, September 4th, goes to a general surgeon by the name of Dr. Thomas Shaknovsky and the hospital's chief medical officer, Dr. Christopher Bacani.

Now, what does your Uncle Shala always tell you about the great state of Florida? The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida, and today is no exception. Now, rest in peace to William Bryan, who was visiting Florida from Alabama. Yes, him and his wife were visiting their rental property in Okaloosa County when he suddenly began experiencing lower left abdominal pain. So they did what anybody with a liquor sense does in a situation like that. They went to the hospital to see what the issue was. Okay.

The Ascension Sacred Heart Emerald Coast Hospital in Walt Cunn County, where he was admitted for further observation over concerns about an abnormality of dysplene. Well, Dr. Thomas Shachnowski and Dr. Christopher Bacani persuaded, persuaded the family who was described as reluctant to undergo surgery at the hospital or he could experience serious complications if he left the hospital. So Brian, who was 70 years old, agreed. And the doctors underwent a hand assisted laparoscopic splenectomy procedure. Then that surgery got some names on them. Now, in the middle of the surgery,

Dr. Shachnavzolski removed Brian's liver by transecting the major vasculature supplying the liver. I know this story. Hate to see you come here. I'm telling you. Jesus. I don't know what any of that means, but this is all you need to know.

The liver had nothing to do with nothing, okay? The doctor mistakenly removed the man's liver. It was the wrong organ, okay? And the surgical cut resulted in immediate and catastrophic blood loss resulting in death. Then the doctor labeled the liver as a spleen, okay? They didn't identify it as a liver until after the man's death. Then the doctor tried to explain to the man's wife, Beverly Bryan, that her husband's spleen was so diseased that it was four times bigger than usual

and had migrated to the other side of his body. Now, this isn't even the doctor's first rodeo with this kind of stuff. Back in 2003, he had a wrong site surgery where he supposedly removed a portion of a patient's pancreas instead of performing the intended adrenal gland resection and the case was settled in confidence i don't even know what that means either but i need to know why would anyone be confident in dr shaknovsky after repeatedly committing medical malpractice like this i've told you all before there are certain jobs that just don't allow you to make mistakes because those mistakes can cost someone their life

Police officers and surgeons are absolutely at the top of that list and not only should dr Shagnoski be sued for everything. He's got his license should be taken away He shouldn't be allowed to dissect a frog in a middle school classroom Okay His wife beverly bryant has retained a law firm to get justice for her husband and is hoping the general surgeon no longer treats patients she said and i agree with her she doesn't want anyone else to die due to his incompetence and they should have known or knew he had previously made drastic life-altering surgical mistakes now i know y'all might not believe nothing i say because i can't pronounce anything and i have a lisp but let's listen to beverly's lawyer tell the tale we've got a client that

underwent a surgery that was supposed to be a spleen surgery, spleenectomy, where they remove your spleen because you don't technically need your spleen to live. And the physician mistook his liver for the spleen, which is obviously on the other side of your body, and removed our client's liver, which unfortunately killed him, on the table there, and then proceeded to call it a spleen. Once we got the case this week, we looked into this gentleman's background. His name is Dr. We'll put his picture up. His name is Dr. Shachanovsky. Once we did some research into him, we found out that this was not the first time he had done a wrong site surgery.

In the recent past, the last two or three years he actually operated on somebody and he was intending to take out an adrenal gland and he ended up taking out part of the pancreas of another patient now uh north walton doctor's hospital has disassociated itself with shafnowski and have removed all photos and references to the doctor from its website. And all the hospital got to offer the family right now is thoughts and prayers. And would you like to know what was actually causing the pain? What? He had a small cyst on his spleen.

Wow. Some donkey of the days just sell themselves. Please give Dr. Thomas Shaknovsky and the hospital's chief medical officer, Dr. Christopher Pocani, the biggest hee-haw. Damn. All because he mistook a liver for a spleen. Lord have mercy. I said doctors are really human in their trial and error

and their testing. They study in books. Some stuff, you know your body. Yeah. They're studying books. Like, some stuff, you know your body. Yeah, but there's certain things you should know if you're a doctor. Know the difference

between a liver and a spleen. I'm trying to tell you. You'd be surprised. Donkey of the Day is sponsored by renowned personal injury attorney Michael the Bull Laminsoft. Don't be a donkey
