Terrible instances of medical practice
I do not recommend to read the continuation of the post, if you have an operation, or the banal trip to the doctor. All the rest take a look at the horrifying collection of real case studies of real doctors. Read on!
Anesthesia.
There are people who are not susceptible to certain anesthetics, they remain in the minds and continues to feel the pain. History Carol Weiher can be a real script for a horror movie. During the operation, she suddenly woke up because of the doctor's voice: "Cut deeper," "stronger", "pull", and the background music was playing. She was unable to apply doctors any signal. As doctors say, it's not the fault of the anesthesiologist, a nightmare is a result of high stress, which she experienced before the surgery.
Uncertain foreign objects.
Oddly enough, foreign objects in the body are often just after surgery. It can anything: clamps, scalpels, cotton, tube, and even watches. Research has shown that such incidents happen in a week 39 times.
Lenny Leclair closely confronted with medical negligence, when there were complications after surgery on his intestines. Severe symptoms indicated that the disease has progressed and it was sent for an MRI. Scan showed that her doctors intestine left jaw. She suffered a few additional operations, once fell into a coma, and now it is attached Colostomy bags.
Not the patient.
This story happened because of a failure in the computer or inadvertently senior nurse - it is still not clear. 2 patients were recorded under the same name. Mix up the cards, almost healthy patient made complex surgery on the lungs at the time, while the other patient is slowly but surely approaching the status of a "critical».
Not the body.
Statistics show that more than 20% to be afraid to go under the knife for this reason. But in this case, the surgeon at the Hospital of Rhode Island during emergency medical operations drilled a 86-year-old skull of a patient in the wrong place. Realizing his mistake, he continued, the operation at the desired location, but the old body can not withstand such a strain, and died a few days later.
Confused children.
Although in modern maternity wards and hospitals do everything to prevent this error, but it still happens. It is impossible to imagine yourself in the place of parents who are not brought up that child.
In December 2013. Jessica Escobedo brought the newborn baby after birth. She felt instinctively that it was not her child. At that moment, her real child was breastfed from another mother. After investigation, the children gave a real mother, and the nurse was fired.
Desmarais. The Great Impostor.
This is the case when Ferdinand Desmarais during the Korean War as part of the Royal Canadian Army posed as a doctor without having one health education. But despite this, he single-handedly operated sergeant wounded in the chest and being successful. The command struck him qualifications and management skills of medical personnel. The secret lies in a phenomenal memory Desmarais and his high intellectual abilities. After the war, he was assigned to the reward, but when the fraud was exposed, the award revoked.
Tubes.
Sometimes, after surgery, patients need help breathing or food. This is standard procedure and no trouble or a light in it. But if not handled properly can be fatal.
84-year-old Adrian Georgy died in the 2012th year, 11 days after the operation due to improperly fastened feeding tube that went into his lungs and not the esophagus. After his death, it had to drain about 2 liters of fluid from the pleural cavity.
Talidomidny scandal.
Since the beginning of the 1950s thalidomide Ball simple sedation. But after it was banned in 1962, when according to various estimates, born from 8 to 12 thousand children with congenital deformities. Pregnant women who took the drug did not have any idea of the effects of this drug for future children. As later found thalidomide exerts a strong influence on the development of the embryo. In fact, it shortens the upper and / or lower limbs.
Plastic surgery.
Medicine was invented in order to save lives. But plastic surgery is not always pursues this goal. It usually indulge the whims of man. The most whimsical yet considered Jocelyn Wildenstein. She has spent on plastic over 4 million dollars. All kinds of lifting, pumping boteksa silicone for many years .... But despite the terrifying, Jocelyn still leads an active social life.
