Operation failed in Taihe Hospital - causing paralysis of the patient
My name is Huang Shuqin, 78 years old.
I was admitted to the outpatient clinic of Taihe Hospital in Shiyan City, Hubei Province due to lumbar spine disease on November 9, 2017. I was admitted to the Third Department of Orthopedics. The doctor in charge of the bed was Dr. Zhang, and the attending doctor was Director Shang Hui.
I was admitted to the hospital and underwent surgery on November 15, 2017. The next day, I experienced severe pain in my left leg. Dr. Zhang ran to my hospital bed in the middle of the night and said with shame on his face: "Grandma Huang, we are sorry for you. The steel nail injured your nerve and made you suffer." From this day on, the bad luck began, with severe pain every day.
On November 20, after the X-ray review, the hospital decided to perform a second corrective surgery on November 26: to adjust the position of the steel nail. After the second operation, the pain moved to the left lower limb and foot. It has been in pain ever since. At the same time, the pain in the lumbar spine also made me bedridden and unable to stand. I have been hospitalized for more than 11 months and the pain is unbearable every day. Even after pulling out the steel nails, the pain still persists. Pain, wails of pain, and heartbreaking crying. The reason was that the first surgery failed and a second corrective surgery was performed. The first steel nail was pulled out and the steel nail was inserted again, which damaged the nerves and caused paralysis. in bed.
The left leg has been severely atrophied.
On December 17, 2017, Taihe Hospital responded to me after a joint consultation: Due to the pain caused by the surgery, Taihe Hospital was unable to do anything to solve my pain and agreed that I should go to Beijing for treatment.
After consultation with experts from the Chinese People's Liberation Army, the diagnosis was: "Pain in the left lower limb and muscle atrophy after lumbar spine surgery." Currently I am paralyzed in bed and cannot take care of myself.
