According to local media India Today, a university hospital in Kota, Rajasthan, India, is controversial while trying to accidentally perform a procedure on a father who visited the hospital with his son undergoing surgery on the 12th (local time).
Son Manish had been scheduled for leg surgery on the same day due to a previous accident. His father Jagdish also came to the hospital with him because he was uncomfortable walking alone.
Jagdish waited in the hospital hallway while his son was undergoing surgery.
The son from the operating room went out looking for his father because he disappeared and was shocked to learn that he was in another operating room.
My father's left arm had already been incised. The procedure was not performed due to restriction by other medical staff, but the arm was cut and sutured.
As it was later revealed, another patient with the same name 'Jagdish' was scheduled to undergo a procedure to create a dialysis fistula in his arm.
This procedure is to connect blood vessels to facilitate dialysis treatment.
Mr. Manish's father raised his hand when the nurse called him 'Jagdish' while his son was in the operating room, but the hospital took him to the operating room without further confirmation.
Mr. Manish's father suffered facial paralysis and was unable to speak properly.
Even in the operating room, the medical staff did not properly identify him and laid him on the bed to start the incision.
Fortunately, other medical staff came in on time and stopped the procedure. The medical staff hastily sewed five to six needles into his incised arm.
According to local media, the elderly man was not even wearing a surgical gown at the time and did not go through the usual preoperative steps such as shaving and disinfection.
The hospital admitted that it did not follow the standard procedure and said it would try to prevent a recurrence.
