Doctor Allegedly Forgets Scalpel in Woman’s Body During C-Section

Doctor Allegedly Forgets Scalpel in Woman’s Body During C-Section
Dec 09, 2014 By eChinacities.com

Here’s another story to add to the endless list of Chinese hospital horror stories. A woman who recently underwent a Caesarean section in Changsha, Hunan discovered a nasty surprise in her after she began to feel ill and uncomfortable. She later returned to the hospital where it was discovered that a scalpel had lodged itself inside her during her C-Section.  

The woman’s family suspects that the doctor made an error during surgery and dropped his scalpel into her during her first surgical procedure. The hospital firmly denies this accusation.

Her family reported that the hospital stated that they were liable for her care and had given the woman free medical treatment during her second surgery. This seems suspicious as the hospital also claims that the doctor did not make a mistake during her first surgery.

Change the title of the article to "Woman forgets to give doctor hongbao" during C-section and it all makes sense....

Classic example of mainland Chinese's face defense arguement. "Since making mistakes is face losing which is something all 1.3 billion can't afford to lose, we never make mistakes! No mistake, nothing to apologise for, no face losses and no monetary indemnity. Our bank account says it all! When we rob and kill you the only person to blame is yourself! You are the one with the money! Any mainlander knows it's all your fault! There is no mystery about us, we want to make friends with you. Let us come to your country and we'll teach you how to think flawlessly!"

The family claims doctor error and the hospital denies it... WTF ! Finding a scalpel inside you just after surgery is pretty strong evidence I'd have thought, it's not like it could have got there any other way.

Now why would a doctor put a scalpel on purpose inside a human body ???? It sounds a bit dumb doesn't it. The field of surgery is very vast and there are mistakes made by surgeons, especially a newly trained surgeon. So, man think before you judge !!!!!
