Operating-room errors hold a special terror for patients, if only because they seem like the most avoidable kind of complications. the occasional horror stories of patients who have the wrong leg removed or the wrong knee replaced generate the most headlines, as do tales of patients whose identities are mixed up entirely.

More From Jeffrey Kluger

I have a very basic leg. but it has a silicon cover on it. i have a flat foot leg, a high heel leg and then i have a leg which, in the winter, i have to ski in and in the summer i swap it into my roller blades.
Summer Winter High Heels
I have always felt a little bit uncomfortable with question [why i'm write these stories]. it's not a question that you would ask a guy that writes detective stories or the guy that writes mystery stories, or westerns, or whatever. but it is asked of the writer of horror stories because it seems that there is something nasty about our love for horror stories, or boogies, ghosts and goblins, demons and devils.

The thing i always try to remember is that feet are attached to the leg, and that you must prolong the silhouette. the shoe elongates the leg and does it discreetly. the goal is to get people to look at a woman's legs. it's all about the leg. no, it's not about the leg. it's about the woman.

I have a scar on my left thigh, kind of almost near my knee. i essentially fell in the 2002 olympics and when i hit the wall - because of the impact - my right leg kind of came in at like a knife-type angle and stabbed my leg with my own skate blade.
Wall Knives Impact
I was born with the wrong sign in the wrong house with the wrong ascendancy i took the wrong road that led to the wrong tendencies i was in the wrong place at the wrong time for the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme on the wrong day of the wrong week used the wrong method with the wrong technique wrong wrong.
House Technique Week
People have always told tales. long before humanity learned to write and gradually became literate, everybody told tales to everybody else and everybody listened to everybody else's tales. before long it became clear that some of the still illiterate storytellers told more and better tales than others, that is, they could make more people believe their lies.

Love Lying Hay
Seeing the play ( a lie of the mind ) clearly is part of why i wanted to direct it. i see hope at the end of this play. people talk about how dark the play was, but i feel like, if you really look at the darkness, you're able to go through it, and you realize that you can handle dark moments in life and that everything will be all right.
