Karimnagar: In a case of medical negligence, a doctor at the Mother and Child Health Centre here almost performed a surgery on the wrong patient, a pregnant woman. The doctor stopped the procedure when the woman raised an alarm.

This incident took place on Monday, but came to light on Tuesday when the woman’s husband lodged a complaint with the hospital authorities.

According to hospital sources, Malathi, a native of Narsingapur in Veenavanka mandal and seven months into pregnancy, consulted the doctors at the MCHC on Thursday last when she developed pain in the stomach.

After scanning, doctors confirmed that she was carrying twins but one of the babies was sick. The doctors then decided to save the healthy child by stitching up the womb. On Monday morning, Malathi was shifted to the operation theatre and given sedation.

Meanwhile, a doctor, after going through the case-sheet of another woman, took up incision of Malathi’s stomach for surgery. Malathi, who was not completely under sedation, panicked and raised an alarm. The doctor stopped the procedure and called other doctors. Later, Malathi was shifted to the ward after stitching up her womb and the incision.

Enraged over the incident, her husband Narotham Reddy lodged a complaint with the hospital authorities. Despite repeated attempts by this correspondent, hospital authorities did not respond.
