>>You know when I had bunion surgery a few years ago a nurse came in and put "yes" on my right foot and "no" on my left. I asked her why she was writing all over my feet, and she said so the doctor operated on the correct foot.<<

There was a doctor not too long ago who amputated the wrong leg on some guy, and that's why the hospitals are so careful. It happens more than they care to admit. When my dad had his knee operated on last year, they had HIM write yes and no on the appropriate legs, with a Sharpie marker, no less.
