Sharon Jacks, 74, is suing Selby General Hospital and its staff after they amputated her left leg instead of her right during a scheduled operation for cancer. Despite two 'surgical time-outs', the surgical team operated on the wrong leg. Jacks later had to undergo a second amputation on her right leg. The hospital acknowledged the error and removed the involved staff.
