The One of A Kind

Medical Negligence.

What constitutes to Medical Megligence?

Scenario:
A guy has stomachache for the past yr. He has been going to the hospital and was given some pills and the reason for his sickness was high cholestrol even after various scans. This guy is skinny by the way. Then recently he admitted himself into the hospital due to the unbearable pain (that is, after a yr of tolerating it and he is still fine).

The doctor then told him that he has a small lump in his colon. So, he was given an injection. When he came back for a check-up, doctor discovered that there's another small lumps. Operation is needed to remove it. He went for it. Hospitalised for 11days. He was discharged 11 days later, even though his wife suspects that he has not fully recovered, coz, his leg was swollen. But the doctor insist that he has recovered.

When they reached home, she found his stomach area wet so, she decided to change his clothes for him. When she changed him, she found water gushing out of the operation scar as though someone is peeing. She called the doctor at the hospital to tell him that she is re admitting her husband but the doctor said that it is just a common side effect and that they were supposed to go to the nearest GP to get help. She looked at the time, it was 11pm.

They waited till the next morning and went for check up at the nearest GP. Some medication was rubbed on the wound and it healed. At least, it looked as though it healed on the outside. GP told them to come back a week later for a check-up. They were told by the doctor from the hospital that any GP would be able to remove the operation clips for them. So the GP did it for them a week later, when they came back for the check-up and GP found that the scar had healed.

On their way home, the patient coughed and he cringed in pain holding his stomach area. His wife checked on him and when she lifted up his shirt, she saw his intestines and stomach coming out of the operation scar. Panicking, she called the ambulance and called went to the hospital again.

Upon reaching the hospital, the patient was not given immediate attention. With his insides out in the open, and just becoz he wasnt cringing in pain (he was so much in pain that cringing wouldn't help anymore) they were told to wait until 2 more patients before them are checked. The patient's brother-in-law started screaming and threatening the nurses before they took immediate action.

Later on, the same doctor, came and suddenly said to the wife that her husband has cancer that has spread to his lungs and liver. When she asked what are her husband chances, he said that he will be fine only that she needs to call their relatives.

Her husband died the next day.

Would you believe when a doctor told you that someone has cancer at a terminal stage and later on he died on the same day? When he went for an operation and the doctor did not mention anything about cancer? when he wasnt suffering a yr before all of this. He was even working as per normal.

A cancer patient normally deteriorate over a period of time and not die just within a few hours.

What if i tell you that this story is not one that i've found over the net or not the kinda scenarios given by my law lecturers for projects?

What if i tell you that this is a real story? What if i tell you that the patient died a few days ago?
