H.S.E. – The Health Scandals’ Establishment
Comments(2)
A young child’s good kidney was removed in “a significant and regrettable medical error”, according to Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital.
Instead of taking out the diseased kidney they took out the healthy one!
The child will probably have to undergo regular dialysis and will have to go on a waiting list for a donor kidney.
Mary Harney expressed her regret to the family and the child. She also expressed her 100% confidence in the hospital
Regret …. is that all a child’s health is worth? A few meaningless words of regret.
It’s a bloody disgrace when the most vulnerable of our society can’t get the treatment they expect and deserve from our Health Service.
Is there no shame anymore or is it just business as usual for everybody (except for that poor child and his/her family)?
I know what I would like to do to the Surgeon.
Until we have a zero tolerance for scandalous mistakes like this no one will ever be made accountable.
What use are words like ‘significant’, ‘unfortunate’ and ‘regretable’ to the people who end up being wronged?
This country has no shame.
Update to post:
The child in question is a four year old boy. The innocent should be always protected.
The H.S.E. has failed in its duty to protect this child.
