One program that isn't going to be on my match list a few years down the road when I'm ready to match into a general surgery and then CT fellowship slot...after recent events.

I'm glad that the surgeon took responsibility and didn't try to cover up the situation or just blame it on someone else.

It sounds as though, since normally a compatible cross match is an absolute requirement for a recipient to be in consideration for an organ, when the recipient team was offered the organs, they assumed that a correct type and screen was already in place. After that no one checked until too late.
Oh no. I agree with the rest of what you wrote, but I don't think this surgeon's career will be ruined. Surgeons make mistakes, as do all humans, and - god forbid - one or more of the times that we do, there may be a bad outcome, or even a death. Decades of hard work and integrity are not negated with a single error. If this physician has a pattern of irresponsible behavior, then that would be one thing. But it seems as though the institution and the medical community are standing firmly behind him - something they would not do unless he had an established reputation as a good and careful surgeon.Originally posted by Behcet
