We recently had a person from the hospital cleaning services throw away a 240k prosthetic limb. I felt really bad for the dude, because the prosthetist who was working with it is always super messy, and we do throw away a lot of weird looking stuff. The guy even tried going out to the dumpster and dug around for it.

We convinced the hospital not to fire the guy despite having to file a police report for insurance purposes. Unfortunately, he ended up being let go a couple months later for "unrelated" circumstances.
