Doctor, nurse booked for cannula insertion pricks, patient alleges they were intoxicated
A doctor and nurse have been booked for cannula injury in a strange medical negligence case. While the patient has claimed that the doctor was drunk and cannula was repeatedly inserted incorrectly causing pricks, the hospital has responded that it was a simple case where the staff could not find the vein.
In her complaint, the patient claimed that the doctor and nurse were in a drunken state and poked her multiple times with the needle in search of a vein for the saline drip which she said left her with injuries on her hand. She also claimed that the doctor and the nurse misbehaved with her during her treatment.
