About five years ago, my father had to have a kidney removed because it contained a tumour. During the preparations for the operation, one of the doctors was supposed to mark on his abdomen which side contained the cancerous kidney. My father then had to explain that the doctor's "right" was the patient's "left" and vice versa. If he hadn't pointed this out, I suppose the doctor would've gone ahead and marked the wrong side (as he was about to do) and perhaps my dad wouldn't still be alive today.
