Đi cắt ruột thừa, bác sĩ cắt nhầm bộ phận khác
17 Dec, 2023
A Washington man is suing (kiện) a hospital and two of its doctors for malpractice (sơ suất) for allegedly removing the wrong organ (bộ phận, cơ quan) during surgery (phẫu thuật), nearly costing him his life (trả giá bằng mạng sống).
According to the 13-page lawsuit (đơn kiện) he filed last week, the Lake Forest Park resident visited the facility’s emergency room due to abdominal pain (đau bụng), whereupon medics (bác sĩ) diagnosed (chẩn đoán) him with appendicitis (viêm ruột thừa) and said his appendix had to go.
Piano said things didn’t go as planned.
“When I woke up and came out of the drugs, I was in serious pain,” he recalled. “Much worse than I had been in when I went to the hospital.”
He claims doctors were unable to locate (xác định) his appendix and ended up removing a part of his lower colon (đại tràng dưới) instead.
A CT scan two days later revealed the inflamed (viêm) appendix was still there, prompting Piano to have it extracted at UWMCN, local CBS affiliate KIRO-TV reported.
Meanwhile, doctors had allegedly punctured (chọc thủng) his colon during the initial operation, causing its contents to spill into his abdominal cavity and make him “much sicker.”
“I was suffering from a leaking colon that created sepsis (nhiễm trùng) and infection,” Piano told KIRO. “And I almost died from it.”
Piano said he underwent four additional surgeries, spent 53 days in the hospital, needed an ileostomy bag (túi hậu môn nhân tạo hồi tràng), lost about 40 pounds, had a wound the size of a pool ball in his abdomen for months, and suffered anxiety, short-term memory loss (mất trí nhớ ngắn hạn) and intense pain.
He is seeking a jury trial and monetary damages, although the exact dollar amount is not known.
