On Monday, we talked about a trio of brain surgeries that went terribly wrong because of doctors getting left and right mixed up. As bizarre as that sounds, we've got another story that's even more baffling. A man who went in for a simple surgery went out with a retractor lodged firmly in his chest!

We tend to think of brain surgeons as pretty intelligent people. In fact, we'll even say "Hey, it's not brain surgery!" when we're talking about something mundane we're doing in comparison. However, sometimes smart people aren't focused on the little things. As an example, if a surgeon is supposed to operate on the left side of your brain, you'd expect him to be able to tell left from right. Shockingly enough, Rhode Island Hospital had three separate instances in the span of one year where three different medical teams got this wrong.

The temperature's still cold but the sun is shining, and the brutal snow storm that plowed into us for the past few days is finally past! So how's everybody been doing in their recovery?

It looks like the northeast has one heck of a storm rolling in tomorrow. We're all scrambling to prepare, stocking up on water, food, salt and whatever else pops into our heads. For that reason, Simia's making this week all about bad weather. Hopefully, the stories and tips that we share throughout the week will keep you and your loved ones safe.

A man is dead after what looks like an accident involving a garden stool that found its way into the shower and tore his leg apart. To explain exactly what happened, we need to take a few steps back. Larry and Lori Stick were a happy couple from Philly with two kids and a comfortable life.

We're closing out the week strong with a cautionary tale about why you shouldn't ask employees to carry buckets of acid around with them. (That seems like a no-brainer, but apparently you really need to explain this to some people).

The theme of the week is dangerous jobs, the brave people who work them, and the terrible accidents that occur when safety guidelines aren't met. Today's story is about a man who fell from a roof because of several huge mistakes his co-workers made.

Today's story is about a group of employees who all got carbon monoxide poison because someone wasn't paying attention. The workers that got injured were part of a construction crew that was renovating an old office building.

The theme of the week is dangerous jobs, the brave people who work them, and the terrible accidents that occur when safety guidelines aren't met. Today we're telling the story of Rob, and it's not a pretty one.

When a young worker loses his finger in a printing press, who's to blame? That's the question that's haunted a 20-year old man ever since his surprising accident.
