A man had to amputate his penis after a series of care failures Several mistakes at one of Närhälsan's health centers (a local health center) in Gothenburg led to a man being forced to amputate his penis, GP reports. It started with the health center sending a referral to the wrong recipient, after which another referral was forgotten. It was then concluded that the man's problem was due to the prostate and a treatment was tried which did not work. All in all, this meant that the man had to wait three years to receive a cancer diagnosis. Närhälsan has now reported the incident to the Inspectorate for Care and Welfare, Ivo, according to Lex Maria. - There were several unfortunate circumstances, and several things that could have been improved, says Jonas Thorén, chief physician at Närhälsan. http://omn...ter-en-rad-vardmissar/a/zA0124 |
