Andhra Pradesh Doctor, Nurse Suspended After Surgical Blade Left Inside Patient
The Andhra Pradesh government has recently suspended a government doctor and a nurse following allegations of medical negligence that led to a surgical blade being left inside a patient's body.
The Health Department has placed Narasaraopeta Government Hospital’s civil assistant surgeon under suspension.
The incident occurred after a tubectomy operation on a 22-year-old woman on November 26, during which Swamy allegedly left a surgical blade inside the patient. The discovery of the blade during a post-operative scan prompted an official probe and the immediate suspension of the doctor, along with a staff nurse who assisted in the surgery.
