William Bryan, 70, of Muscle Shoals, Alabama, underwent surgery on Aug. 21, at Ascension Sacred Heart Emerald Coast hospital in Miramar, Florida, because of spleen abnormalities, according to a statement from the personal injury firm Zarzaur Law, based in Pensacola, Florida.
The Walton County Sheriff's Office, in coordination with other authorities, said in a statement to NBC News on Wednesday it is investigating Bryan's death.
William Bryan and his wife, Beverly Bryan, were in the Sunshine State visiting their rental property when he began experiencing “left-sided flank pain,” Beverly Bryan's attorneys said.
He was admitted to the hospital for further evaluation, and although the Bryans were reluctant to have surgery in Florida, they were persuaded by Dr. Thomas Shaknovsky, a general surgeon, and Dr. Christopher Bacani, the hospital’s chief medical officer, that he could experience serious complications if he left the hospital’s care.
Both Shaknovsky and Bacani appeared to be involved in discussions, according to records, for how to proceed with Bryan’s medical treatment, Beverly Bryan's lawyer, Joe Zarzaur, said in the statement.
Shaknovsky performed a hand-assisted laparoscopic splenectomy on William Bryan, Zarzaur said, which had deadly consequences.
“Dr. Shaknovsky removed Mr. Bryan’s liver and, in so doing, transected the major vasculature supplying the liver, causing immediate and catastrophic blood loss resulting in death,” the statement said. “The surgeon proceeded with labeling the removed liver specimen as a 'spleen,' and it wasn’t until following the death that it was identified that the organ removed was actually Mr. Bryan’s liver, as opposed to the spleen.'”
Shaknovsky told Beverly Bryan her husband’s spleen was so diseased that it was four times bigger than normal and it had moved to the other side of his body, Zarzaur alleges. But in a typical human body the liver exists on the opposite side of the abdomen and it is much larger than a spleen, he said.
Ascension Sacred Heart Emerald Coast hospital said in a statement Wednesday it's "performing a thorough investigation" into Bryan's death and takes allegations like the one made by his family "very seriously."
"Ascension Sacred Heart Emerald Coast has a longstanding history of providing safe, quality care since the hospital opened its doors in 2003," the statement said. "Patient safety is and remains our number one priority. Our thoughts and prayers remain with the family. We hold the privacy of our patients in the highest regard. We do not comment on specific patient cases or active litigation."
According to the Cleveland Clinic, the typical human spleen is roughly the size of an avocado, and the typical human liver is roughly the size of a football."

Our most unhinged episode yet! Did you know that sharks in the ocean are testing positive for cocaine in Brazil? Neither did we. Did you know that in America, there are systems in place that grant an active President full legal immunity. That's kinda fun and not an issue at all...I'm sure. Then Bean shares the news of a murder suicide in Bangkok over a business deal that had gone south. And Don tops it all off with the news about King Charles giving a special title to a breed of goat and Don questions the King's love of goats. Okay... Sweet Dreams!

“We’re excited to launch paid work on Roblox to showcase how we do careers differently, bringing our unique careers philosophy to life. At IKEA, there is no set route to career progression. Our co-workers are able to change roles, switch departments, and grow in any direction they choose, both in the game or in the real world. There are many ways to learn and grow at IKEA, and that's what IKEA on Roblox is all about.”

This new product, called the Neuroplatform, uses small versions of human brains to do computer work instead of silicon chips. The company says it can fit 16 of these mini-brains onto the Neuroplatform and use a fraction of the energy required to power a traditional set up.

Summary-

In this episode, Bean and Don discuss two news stories. The first story is about Ikea hiring 10 people to work in their virtual Ikea store created in Roblox. The hosts discuss the implications of this virtual job and speculate on the true intentions behind it. The second story is about a new cult called Profundity Yours, based in Marietta, Texas. Bean shares the details of the cult and its unique blend of New Age Christianity. The hosts express their fascination with cults and discuss the cult's catchy name and matching uniforms. In this conversation, Bean and Don discuss two distinct topics. The first topic is about a cult called ProfundityYours, led by Linda McGillis, who claims to be an extraterrestrial deity. They discuss the cult's beliefs, practices, and potential harm. The second topic is about the development of biological computers or mini brains, which are 3D cultures of brain tissue that mimic the structure and functions of the human brain. They explore the potential applications and ethical implications of this technology.

Have you ever wondered the history behind the saying "The greatest invention since sliced bread"? I haven't either but Don graciously gave me a history lesson and so glad he did! Check out this *midnight snack* about the man who created a bread slicing machine and how that invention truly encapsulated the American Dream!

Sliced bread is a loaf of bread that has been sliced with a machine and packaged for convenience, as opposed to the consumer cutting it with a knife. It was first sold in 1928, advertised as "the greatest forward step in the baking industry since bread was wrapped".

Otto Frederick Rohwedder of Davenport, Iowa, United States, invented the first single loaf bread-slicing machine. A prototype he built in 1912 was destroyed in a fire,[4] and it was not until 1928 that Rohwedder had a fully working machine ready. The first commercial use of the machine was by the Chillicothe Baking Company of Chillicothe, Missouri, who sold their first slices on July 7, 1928.[5] Their product, "Kleen Maid Sliced Bread", proved to be a success. Battle Creek, Michigan, has a competing claim as the first city to sell bread sliced by Rohwedder's machine; however, historians have produced no documentation backing up Battle Creek's claim.[6] The bread was advertised as "the greatest forward step in the baking industry since bread was wrapped".

BREAKING NEWS -- In this midnight snack Don and Bean cover the groundbreaking discovery made by a hiker in China! The tallest waterfall was proven to come from...let's so shady origins...

"A controversy over a waterfall has cascaded into a social media storm in China, even prompting an explanation from the water body itself.

A hiker posted a video that showed the flow of water from Yuntai Mountain Waterfall - billed as China's tallest uninterrupted waterfall - was coming from a pipe built high into the rock face.

The clip has been liked more than 70,000 times since it was first posted on Monday.

Operators of the Yuntai tourism park said that they made the "small enhancement" during the dry season so visitors would feel that their trip had been worthwhile.

"The one about how I went through all the hardship to the source of Yuntai Waterfall only to see a pipe," the caption of the video posted by user "Farisvov" reads.

The topic "the origin of Yuntai Waterfall is just some pipes" began trending all over social media.

It received more than 14 million views on Weibo and nearly 10 million views on Douyin - causing such an uproar that local government officials were sent to the park to investigate.

They asked the operators to learn a lesson from the incident and explain the enhancements to tourists ahead of time, according to state broadcaster CCTV."
