Srinagar: In a shocking alleged medical negligence a 26 year old woman from Pulwama, who was supposed to undergo a gall bladder removal surgery at Srinagar’s Classic hospital, has accused doctors of removing her uterus during the operation.
According to the woman’s family, the 26 year old was diagnosed with presence of a 6mm polyp on her gall bladder and was advised to undergo a surgery late in June.
To her surprise, not only did her post surgery checkup reveal the surgery was not required as the polyp was too small to be removed, the woman also received a rude shock when an ultra sound revealed her uterus was missing.
The family also claimed that when confronted the Classic hospital management first refused to take responsibility and later pleaded for a “compromise”.
Brother of the 26 year old patient while speaking said they are in mental trauma, as her sister had married just couple of years back, all we want justice so that there won’t be any more victims of medical negligence by doctors.
“We have been devastated by this hospital and doctor. We can never ever complete our family now” said the husband of the lady, adding that it is like a death sentence for the family. The family said with no recourse or hope we have to file an FIR.
“The reality that we will never be able to conceive is haunting and is already causing a lot of mental trauma. We are in disbelief. What worries us is also the fact that removal of body parts in such manner will effect health of my wife for her entire life. Our life has been derailed, said the husband.
