News from 12:30 p.m. – Toulouse: a patient undergoes the partial ablation of a lung by mistake
This is a terrible medical mistake in Toulouse. In 2018, a man who was detected with a lung cancer, and who had part of the organ removed in the process, was the victim of a terrible mistake. After the operation, the medical team realizes that the lung is in perfect condition and that there has been a converse with the analyzes from another patient.
But then, how is this possible? It would be the fault of the analysis laboratory, “a dramatic, scandalous fault”, according to the victim Paul, who is still surprised that this laboratory was not worried and that his first complaint was closed without action. With his lawyer, he decided to seize the dean of the examining magistratesbecause “traceability is the very essence of the profession”, he lamented, especially since the analyzes revealed a female DNA.
The samples were therefore reversed with those of the woman, who was really sick, and this is another scandal in this affair: what has become of her? Paul alerted the regional health agency, no response. He obviously has the consequences of this medical error since at 61, he is now out of breath on first effort, like climbing stairs. “They mutilated me, they robbed me of my old age”, he named disillusioned.
