The sawbones ’s signature was discovered by another Doctor of the Church , who found the initials on the patient role ’s organ during a unlike surgery . Now they fear that potentially century of affected role are walking around with organs bearing the surgeon ’s name . Doctors say the branding leave only trivial burning , and is n’t likely to cause any harm to the patient .
