The NHS Blood and Transfusion service has apologised for a computer error which meant that some people had organs removed incorrectly, or presumably not removed, because their preferences were wrongly recorded in the database.
But hey, I'm sure that the problem's not wide spread. I mean, the Brit.Gov wouldn't get more than a handful of people wrong. Oh, wait:
The mistake affects 800,000 people who had their transplant wishes wrongly imported from the DVLA.
Well, at least it wasn't a million. There's only one comma in that number, you racist, Palin-loving Teabagging hater!
The NHS Blood and Transfusion service stressed that only 21 people had died with the incorrect details on their records.
Well, that's a relief! With the efficiency we can expect from the Obama Administration, it shouldn't be more than 50,000 over on this side of the pond. Yay, socialized medicine!

Errrr....ummm...Now thats a bit much!!! As Beavis used to scream "MY LIVER" " MY LIVER" or was it Butthead?
A computer error?!!?!??! Excuse me but doesn't it take a HUMAN to enter the data so the supreme computer can work!?!?!?!?
Seesh, why do the unintelligent always blame a "computer glitch" when it is decidedly a human problem. If ANY private business had that many wrong episodes... I dare say there would be hell to pay; heads would be rolling, supervisers would be fired, CEO's would be jumping out of windows....
It appears that the article refers to preferences regarding organ donation AFTER one's death, which were incorrectly honored. Like on your driver's license where you check 'organ donor' or 'cornea donor', etc.
It does not appear to refer to living patients who 'had their liver removed', as you implied, or to transplant recipients who received the wrong organ.
Thus "...21 people had died with the incorrect details on their records" means that NHS discovered the organ donation preference error before very many (dead people and their families) had been affected.
Very, very true JohnK. You are right; it's an article about organ donation AFTER death. (always have to add that, LOL) BUT, it is a commentary on how bungling a Big Brother Type of government can become. All those that stand in the "Church of Big Brother" will have you to believe that "THEY" have only your best interests at heart. This story is another example of why citizens need to question their clergy from that sect.
