Sometimes you guys just mess everything up.

Doctor Madike of Madike hospital in enugu, can forget a whole scissors in a patient.

olasaad:
Ok but to be on a safer side can a patient still request for another scan a day or two after CS just to be safe. I'm afraid because I'm a lady, and I believe most of the victims were women

Think it's normal to go for post surgery scan. It's always recommended to check if there's no anomaly and to be sure everything is ok. Not talking about Nigeria, don't know if they do that.

I tell you bro. I wonder why people joke anyhow even when it's not necessary.

Our Official Doctor @[/b] was telling us all some weeks ago about how they found a big rotten cucumber inside the private part of an individual.

The individual refuses to seek medical attention early due to shame or shyness....the incident happened during the act of [b]MASTURBATION!

This APC man.

I actually did find a live snake inside a patient's intestine



I won't say a word

Pls, whaaat?

Patient had a C-section at a private hospital. 3 weeks later she presented with progressive abdominal welling and sepsis. Scan showed accumulation of over 3L of pus in her abdomen. By the time she went into the theatre, a complete abdo-pack, the equivalent of a thick face towel, was forgotten in her abdomen during the first surgery. Crazy stuff!

chatinent:
No one can be trusted on this; some deliberately leave it there...you know, for a return visit.

Tell me something

It's even hard for me to believe Kazeems use this tactics not to talk of Doctors to patients
Such Surgeon's license should be revoked.

I think it's out of fear, makes dem not really relaxed to do d job hence confusion especially bearing in mind that the aneastesia will soon fade out and patient will be up,

BRATISLAVA:


How do they "forget" these things inside a person? It seems it's deliberate so that they will have a repeat patient to take it out. Perhaps money is the motivation.

You think any doctor in his sane mind would do that? You don't really know the medicolegal implications of that, do you?. And in this case it is not only the surgeon that is at fault but also the scrub nurse whose duty is to count the gauze and ensure that he/ has the same total at the beginning and end of operations. These things happen when there are many emergency cases .I repeat no surgeon will do that deliberately

We once opened a patient &
found intestines inside his abdominal
cavity!! Intestines fa!!

Bwahahahaha

Lol here, take this.

Vatod:

I swear to God I can't even stay near where they give someone an injection, hospital sign alone self scrare the hell out of me!!

Do you believe some Doctors too are like this, and getting over it gradually.
Imagine a Dr with this kind if phobia and asked to assist a surgeon, and the surgeon leaves d job to her to perfect her hands thus time.

'Toothpick' penetrating the ileocaecal junction masking as Acute appendicitis. we opened up and saw the surprise....unfortunate patient did not even know he had swallowed a toothpick.



Another is a '1.7kg fatty Lipoma' recently removed from the posterior thigh of a young woman, waiting for histology report.

I have nothing to say, it is confidential.

And where do you expect to find intestines?

My little experience sha.

A small piece of wood, like 0.5 CM long was removed, from someones omentum. Gosh! you need to see the pus goshing out.

Apparently, dude previously fell from a tree and got lacerated on the way to the ground. Most of the stick where removed then sha, apart from that tiny chunk, never new such a small thing could trigger such immune reaction.

He is lucky sha, he was still at the hospital, he had fistula which was yet to heal and that was what kept him at the hospital.

The gross site...

Olumighty123:


A very unusual mistakes, how on earth do people forget stuffs inside a human during surgery ?

Doctors are not trained to be forgtful.. It must always be the patient's village pple.

I hereby separate you from the other alfa males. Obviously you can function outside toto affairs.

I hope the rest can learn from you.

proclinician:
In one of my shifts as a resident a woman once gave birth through CS and after discharge and she was supposed to be healing, her abdominal cavity was swelling up and painful and the area in the abdomen that was stitched was bleeding and pus was coming out. She was rushed in when her hubby felt something was not right and a CT scan was ordered. There in the abdominal cavity were some unusual foreign bodies which in a normal human viscera shouldn't be there. She was put into the theatre for an operation and immediately she was opened up there in the abdominal cavity were two gauze sponges used to soak up the bleeding but retained after the CS with massive antibody-antigen reaction taking place there. It was horrible but thank God she lived she was lucky enough sepsis did not occur

Yes!! And that's why they get allowances of gory scenes.

Taa, comot here!

EVILFOREST:
FIRST;
I FOUND NAIL and was removed endoscopically.

SECOND was a TOY BEAD impacted at the Tracheoesophageal junction of a CHILD, which led to respiratory embarrassment.

THIRD, was a macerated Gauze Bandage left inadvertently in the peritoneal cavity of a patient who later came down with a high output enterocutaneous (faecal) fistula.

Come down to our level, stop using medical terminology all through, we already knw u are a med practitioner. Nt all are docs here.

This is serious

Juliearth:





Possibly because they blend into the....






OK, I don't know. Proclinician, can you throw more light on this?

You are correct. Nobody does this intentionally, no surgeon ever can say the patient will come back for removal and pay more money nope nope nope. It's a mistake, an over sight, a miscalculation. When a complication arises in a cavity, an artery is being stubborn a lot of this sponges are required and it's a pool of blood so it blends. This however is not enough reason there's no enough justifiable reason ever.

Manaria15:
When you have only one doctor doing everything, when I had surgery, at General hospital, the doctors were about 3, excluding the anesthetist, what one could not see his colleagues will see it, it was a team work, and I didn't have any further complications to the Glory of God. From the day I decided to have the surgery I refused private hospital, even though it took me months to be booked, it was worth the wait.

Why did you refuse private hospitals? Would u have done the same if the procedure wasn't an elective?
