When I was shadowing we were doing a follow-up for a woman who had half of her bowel taken out. She went in for a UTI, they gave her some antibiotics. She went back with painful diarrhea, which is a scenario for textbook C. Diff. They told her to go home and did nothing. Eventually caused ulcerative colitis and infected her abdomen.
She nearly died because a physician was either too busy or too incompetent to recognize a textbook C-Diff infection and let it get out of hand.
my coworkers mother died to internal bleeding after the doctors screwed up a surgery at the hosptial
they sent her home despite dropping hemoglobin levels and she was dead the next morning yet the hospital would not acknowledge what happened
this happened at one of the "better hospitals" in my country
i tell people they ought to take care of their health so as to avoid being at the mercy hospital staff who could not give less of a shit
