So they look incredibly similar to another missing person and are mistakingly identified as the other person and the hospital later finds out they’ve made a mistake after they’re back with the other person’s loved ones / family and they don’t notice the difference

What would happen and has this happened before

    If the “right” person was under hospital care, and the “wrong” person is found and return in their place I imagine the indicators in their hospital care would be pretty clear they have the wrong person.

    • “This patient’s blood type is different”
    • “The labs on this patient are coming back drastically different than they were from last week. Last week this patient was pre-diabetic with no hypertension, and now they have no pre-diabetic indicators and are in Stage 2 hypertesion.”
    • “This patient gained a 40 year old tattoo in less than 24 hours.”
