Confusing left from right
You would not believe how many grown-ups mix up left and right it's like a secret Club of silliness that scientists are just starting to unravel. Imagine a brain surgeon sitting beside his patient's bed after surgery miscalculation ,there is he, the bad news he is about to deliver it’s all his fault he went and operated on the wrong side of the spinal column talk about a major slip up moment It turns out that mixing up left and right is a real blunder in the medical world, there have been cases where doctors injected the wrong eye or took a biopsy from the wrong breast, now for most folks telling left from right is as easy as telling up from down but for a surprising bunch about one in six people according to a recent study, it's a real head scratcher even those who think they have it all figured out can get tripped up by distractions like; loud noises or unrelated questions.
