Needle Allegedly Left Inside Uterus Causes Mother To Feel Agonizing Pain After Cesarean Section
A needle was allegedly left inside the mother’s uterus which caused her to feel agonizing pain after giving birth via cesarean section (C-section).
This incident is similar to a previous article where a lady patient in the Philippines discovered a gauze and gloves inside her stomach four months after her operation.
Nowadays, there are medical patients that complain about the alleged irresponsible hospital staff who failed to do their job.
Based on a report from Dailymail, 19 years old mother, Thi Nguyen, gave birth to her son Vincent at the Fairfield Hospital in Sydney, Australia.
Thi felt an excruciating pain inside her uterus after her cesarean delivery last Wednesday.
She was reportedly forced to go back to the operating room so that a specialist doctor could retrieve the needle that’s allegedly left inside her uterus by the previous operating team.
Thi’s husband, Steven Nguyen, was not informed throughout her second surgical procedure and complained that no one informed him.
He said he was forced to wait for Thi to inform him about the situation. “No one told me anything,” he said.
Based on the report, the friends of the family was with Steven to welcome the arrival of their new son.
Steven even asked the receptionist for some updates about his wife’s condition.
He stated that he received an apology from his wife’s specialist only, but it wasn’t the specialist’s fault, she was even the one who fixed it.
Steven said that the doctors who did the c-section delivery to his wife did not talk to him.
The hospital in Sydney released a statement stating that the incident was a fact product of fault and not a doctor’s error.
The hospital sent a message to the mother that says:
“We apologize if our communication was inadequate and we are currently reviewing this as a matter of priority”.
According to the report, the mother of the newborn child was a Vietnamese which therefore she is not qualified to have her medical expenses covered by Medicare.
Her husband said, “She could have easily recovered a lot quicker, but…it’s a mess”.
