I think the hospitals are becoming more and more aware of the potential for inadvertent mixups. It seems nowadays when I go in for any procedure at all -- even the simplest and most routine ones -- they double check my name, birthdate, etc. against the charts they are working with to be sure they have the right patient and that they are performing the right test.
