Brain Surgery Goes Awry in R.I.

by: Michelle R. Smith (Associated Press)


PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — One operation went awry after an experienced brain surgeon insisted to a nurse he knew what side of the head to operate on — but got it wrong.

Another time, a doctor-in-training cut into the wrong side of a patient's head after skipping a pre-op checklist. In a third case, the chief resident started brain surgery in the wrong place, and the nurse didn't stop him. (Read more here.)

NARS Movie Info

Nars Film Review

The movie Nars is an independent film that showcased the typical life of nursing students and registered nurses alike. It presented their hopes, dreams, triumphs and tribulations. It also reflected a harsh reality: that care and compassion, sometimes, comes second to personal prosperity.

Considering that it is an indie film, the movie is a thumbs up for showcasing a stellar cast and for mirroring an accurate depiction of the life of student nurses. Yet, it doesn't come without flaws. The storyline is not weaved perfectly and more emotions and heavier performances are expected from the cast.

Just like this review, the movie is so BITIN. I'm giving it 3 over 5 stars.

Now, I'm leaving you the chance to air your boos or claps.
