Doctors Booked for Gallbladder Swap in Nuh Surgery
22 Apr
Summary
- Two doctors and hospital booked for alleged negligence in Nuh.
- Patient's gallbladder removed instead of urinary tract stone.
- Hospital records tampered with to show consent for wrong procedure.
Two doctors and a private hospital in Tauru, Nuh, have been booked for alleged medical negligence. This action follows a complaint that a 24-year-old patient's gallbladder was mistakenly removed instead of treating a urinary tract stone.
An inquiry by the Haryana health department revealed that the patient's gallbladder was normal. Furthermore, hospital records were reportedly tampered with to indicate consent for the gallbladder removal, a procedure known as cholecystectomy. Attendants had only consented to surgery for bladder stones.
The patient, a painter, has been incapacitated for seven months due to complications arising from the incident, which occurred on September 10. Police have registered an FIR under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, including criminal conspiracy, and arrests are anticipated.
