Florida doctor charged with manslaughter
The 70-year-old patient died on the operating table after Shaknovsky reportedly attempted to persuade colleagues that the removed organ was a spleen.
The investigation revealed that the doctor had requested staff to label the liver as a 'spleen' and send it to pathology despite the obvious error.
Shaknovsky's medical license has been suspended as he faces criminal charges for the botched operation.
The case has raised serious concerns about surgical safety and medical accountability in the state.
