Since September 2010, three surgical errors occurred at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston.  The spine surgery errors happened when the surgeons miscounted the patient's vertebrae and operated directly above or below the correct area of the spine.  Two of the operations were performed by the same surgeon.  The names of the two surgeons who committed the surgical errors were not released by the hospital.  The hospital has been cited by both federal and state health inspectors as a result of the medical errors.  Safety protocols did not prevent the medical errors and hospital officials have vowed to improved the safety measures in order to avoid future surgical errors.
