In a case of medical negligence, doctors of a medical college left a ball of cotton inside a woman’s stomach while performing a caesarean section in Bihar’s Bhagalpur district, an official said on Saturday. The incident came to light when the woman underwent an ultrasound again owing to continuous pain at a private nursing home where doctors found a cotton ball. They removed the foreign body through surgery.
A pregnant Priyanka Kumari was admitted to Jawahar Lal Nehru medical college and hospital Mayaganj Bhagalpur after getting into labour on February 19. She delivered a baby boy through an operation and was discharged on February 26. As she was complaining of abdominal pain, she went to the hospital where doctors dressed the stitches but failed to detect the actual problem.
