Quên kéo là chuyện bình thường

...The complaint (đơn kiện) says “M.W.” went into a hospital Sept. 30, 2020, with a sacral (xương cùng) wound (vết thương) — a skin wound near the lower back — that wasn’t healing and was, the complaint said, “exacerbated (làm trầm trọng thêm) by contamination (nhiễm khuẩn) with feces (phân, cứt).”

Zenoni’s Oct. 8, 2020 operation would be a “diverting colostomy procedure that would divert the fecal steam and allow the sacral wound to heal.”

But, the complaint says, “during the procedure, [Zenoni] inadvertently (tình cờ, không cố ý) diverted (làm trệch đi, làm trệch hướng) the wrong end of Patient M.W.’s colon. [Zenoni] diverted the distal (ở xa điểm giữa, ngoại biên) end of the colon, the downstream end, when he should have diverted the proximal (ở đầu gần) end, the upstream end of the colon.”

This mistake, the complaint said, meant M.W. “failed to pass gas, failed to have bowel movements and became distended (làm sưng to, sưng phồng.”

CT imaging revealed the problem 12 days after the original operation (phẫu thuật).
