Srinagar: A woman found out the brutal pain coming from her bladder was a surgical instrument left in her body five months ago, according to Block Medical Officer Pattan Dr Manzoor Hakim.
Raja Begum wife of Abdul Ahad Tantray, a resident of Sherpora Pattan area of North Kashmir checked into Sub-District Hospital complaining of severe pain- only to find out that the cause of the discomfort was a surgical thread tied with an instrument left over from when she had been operated by Doctors at SMHS Hospital Srinagar some five months ago.
“I was admitted at SMHS Hospital five months ago under MRD number 65024. The doctor whom I don’t know removed my gallbladder and since then I was suffering from severe pain,” Raja Begum told news agency CNS.
“She was in pain and then an X-ray found the surgical thread inside her body. We removed that thread during a two-and-a-half-hour operation,” BMO Pattan Dr Manzoor Hakim said.
The husband of the affected woman said that they are now considering legal action against the doctors at SMHS hospital Srinagar. (CNS)
