- Case of Wrong Leg Amputation In one of the most tragic surgical errors, 52-year-old Willie King was supposed to have a diseased leg amputated in 1995. Instead, the surgeon took the wrong one off. As in many wrong site surgerycases, there were a series of mistakes that led to the wrong leg be ing amputated. The incorrect leg was listed in a number of key places including the blackboard in the operating room, the hospital's computer system, and the operating room schedule. The staff had sterilized and prepped the wrong leg for surgery before the surgeon, Dr. Rolando Sanchez, appeared in the operating room. The doctor's defence later was that both legs were unhealthy and would have to be amputated in any event. He was fined $10,000 and received a six-month medical license suspension.

It is a famous case that many universities use in engineering education. Omar, who is a student of Professor Ahmad's class found a website that contains analysis done by many students of Western University. Omar told his close friends Jameel and Khalid what he found. They selected three different analyses. That means each one got a well- written and ready-made answer. Omar directly copied from what he selected. He did not even indicate the website as a source of reference in his submission. Jameel did not directly copy from the one he selected. He rephrased some of the sentences. He also indicated the website as a source of reference in his submission. Although Khalid studied the sample he selected and some others samples available on that website, he wrote the analysis on his own. He also indicated the website as a source of reference. Professor Ahmad's action is academically Select…arrow_forward
