A children's doctor cut out 90 per cent of a baby's bladder after she mistook the organ for a hernia during a bungled hospital operation, a medical tribunal heard today.She's up before a medical tribunal (I guess she hasn't yet heard about how you can avoid that little awkwardness) and they will no doubt prescribe a slap on the wrist and maybe a spot of retraining.
Consultant paediatric surgeon Dr Pierina Kapur, 43, failed to recognise the hernia when she carried out the operation on the seven-week-old baby girl, it was alleged.
Instead she removed almost all of the youngster's bladder by mistake then sewed up the remainder of it not realising what she had done.

ReplyDeleteI thought hospitals had a checklist for operations these days - no.6: have you left a swab/retractor/your Rolex inside the patient? - which presumably includes 'did you take out the right bit?'

ReplyDeleteI better not go in for any routine operations, if they ever connect me to this!
"No doubt 'Lessons will be learned'?"
Well, they always are. Aren't they?
"If this woman qualified in Britain I'll eat my hat."
I suspect your headgear is safe...
"she wasn't the one that bodged a circumcision - and got the sack?"
ROFL!
