[00:00:03]There was a bleeder. There was blood.

[00:00:06]And the blood and the chaos made him disoriented.

[00:00:12]But take a look at the screen. The spleen is tucked under the ribs on the left-hand side of it. It's a small organ, usually weighing less than 15% of a liver. The liver is anchored on the upper right side. It is big. It is massive.

[00:00:30]It has multiple distinct lobes.

[00:00:40]However, the medical examiner found that the spleen was actually near normal. As a lawyer, I'd ask, "How do you accidentally cross the entire midline of the body and mistake the largest organ that a person possesses for a small one, especially when you admit that you learned the difference in junior high school science class?"
