Surgeon Accidentally Removes Woman's Ovary Instead Of Appendix
Another case of terrible medical error dating back to October 2011 has been recently made public in England.
A 32-year-old pregnant woman was taken to Queen's Hospital outside of London to have her appendix removed but instead of this doctors took out her ovary.
Victim of the medical mix-up Maria De Jesus, who was 21 weeks pregnant with her 4th child, died 3 weeks later.
Now two doctors are in court in connection with the case: a trainee surgeon Dr. Yahya Al-Abed and the supervising surgeon Dr. Babatunde Coker (who was supposed to follow the surgery).
While the trainee doctor was removing what he thought was the appendix, the supervising doctor was reportedly having his lunch. Coker was never summoned, nor was he aware the surgery was taking place...
Until the mistake was uncovered in November, when the woman returned to the hospital suffering from severe pain.
It was another doctor who diagnosed her with appendicitis, again. She underwent surgery the next day.
However, De Jesus died on the OR table having earlier delivered a stillborn boy.
Cause of death: multiple organ failure due to septicemia.
Local media report that the hearing is likely to last a month. (Naij)
