A young man in Northeastern China was mistaken for a hemorrhoid patient and taken into surgery while waiting for his wife to deliver their child.

According to the People’s Daily, on August 8, 29-year-old Mr. Wang decided to take a nap in a patient room at a hospital in Shenyang while waiting for the doctors and surgeons to complete his wife’s cesarean section.

After a short while, doctors called Mr. Wang into the operating room (OR). He was under the impression that something had gone wrong during the C-section, so he rushed into the OR. Expecting to see his wife, he was a more-than-a-little surprised by the events that followed.

“The doctor murmured something I didn’t quite catch, then I was asked to take my pants off,” Mr. Wang explained to People’s Daily reporters. He asked the nurse why he needed to take his pants off, and the nurse strongly responded, “I told you to take them off, so just do it,” reported China Business News.

Mr. Wang wondered how taking his pants off would make a positive contribution to his wife’s cesarean, but he chalked it up to a lack of understanding. He decided it was best to listen to the medical professionals, so he did as he was told and climbed onto the operating table.

It was only after the surgery was completed that Mr. Wang realized that he had undergone surgery. Coming off the effects the anesthesia, he quickly became aware that a change had taken place in his body. “I was having trouble walking, and my butt felt like it was on fire,” Mr. Wang told the Peninsula Morning Post.

While he was in surgery, Mr. Wang’s wife delivered their child. “I heard the baby crying when I was lying there, and I wanted to see it, but my butt hurt so much that I couldn’t move,” said Mr. Wang to the People’s Daily.

When he was finally allowed to see his wife and newborn child, Mr. Wang was overcome with joy, but when he was informed that he had just had surprise hemorrhoid surgery, he was absolutely furious. Mr. Wang demanded an explanation from the hospital as to how he was mistaken for another patient and given a surgery that he wasn’t at all signed up to receive.

As it turns out, Mr. Wang did actually have hemorrhoids, so the unexpected surgery wasn’t a total loss. Reports indicate that the hospital offered RMB 5,000 in compensation for violating the sanctity of Mr. Wang’s rectum, but the two parties have yet to reach an agreement on this issue.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
