Kidney Surgery Gone Wrong: Patient Dies, Doctors Flee
16 Sep
Summary
- Patient died during surgery for kidney pain at a private hospital.
- Medical staff allegedly fled the facility after the patient's death.
- Family alleges a kidney was removed during the procedure.
A tragic incident unfolded on Monday morning in Pakpattan City, where a 28-year-old patient, Muhammad Imran, died during a surgical procedure at a private hospital. Imran had been admitted two days prior due to severe kidney pain, with initial investigations suggesting kidney stones. He underwent a minor laser procedure and was discharged but returned the following night with intense pain.
During a subsequent operation, Imran's family alleges that doctors removed his kidney, leading to his death on the operating table. Following the fatal outcome, the hospital's doctors, owners, and paramedical staff reportedly abandoned the facility, leaving the patient's body and a container with what appeared to be his removed kidney. Enraged relatives staged a protest, damaging hospital property and blocking a road.
The District Health Authority CEO confirmed the facility is registered with the PMDC and stated an autopsy would be conducted. However, sources indicated the family took the body for immediate burial without an autopsy. An inquiry has been ordered to investigate the circumstances and assign responsibility.
