I'm a PT in a hospital, and one of my co- workers was seeing a patient who had hip surgery to repair their hip joint that was being eroded by cancer and at risk for a pathologic fracture.
They get the patient out of bed the day after surgery, and as soon as they stand up they hear a loud *CRACK*, and the patient screams in agony.
Turns out, the surgeon repaired the wrong hip, and the cancer-damaged hip snapped when the patient stood up.
They returned to the OR to repair the correct hip that day.
