Benson, a diabetic who suffered from poor circulation for the last five years, was shocked to wake up after his surgery and learn of the mishap. “I kept hoping that I was just dreaming, but I kept waking up to the same thing,” said Benson. Hospital staff at the Neighborhood Hospital have not officially commented on the case, but this incident comes at a dire time for the hospital, which has experienced quite an assortment of problems lately, from union problems to nursing shortages.
