The latest story to hit the news comes from the United States where a patient who had simple surgery to lessen the size of his nose, ended up losing it altogether. Since the first surgery made it difficult for the patient to breathe, he returned to his doctor to get it corrected. As part of the correction, his doctor operated on him again and again, unit he underwent as many as 24 surgeries.
Sadly, this story did not end well as the patient ended up having a plastic straw implanted in the empty space of what was once his nose to permanently disfigure him. He recently filed Medical negligence claims, where he is accusing his doctor of gross negligence.
In defence, his doctor is accusing him of being unstable. Given the result of the botched operation, one can not help but feel than any anger, which is being made to look like instability, is quite understandable in this situation.
And though this example of medical malpractice was conducted across the pond, it is a perfect example of what a doctor’s negligence can do to a patient.
This poor man started out with a perfectly healthy nose. And while he didnt need a nose job, a minor tweak would have made his slightly imperfect nostrils perfect. Several surgeries later, he has nothing else but a plastic tube sticking out of his face.
He has lost his appearance, dignity, and even his job. Medical negligence claims are the only thing left for him since his doctor abandoned him. Not only that, but his doctor is even trying to put to blame on his patient in order to weasel his way out of paying any damages.
After Losing his Job, Man Files for Medical Negligence Claims
If being permanently disfigured was not enough, a man who endured 24 failed surgeries ended up losing his job because of his amputated nose.
And while the patient did not need any surgery on his nose for medical reasons, he opted to go under the knife because he perceived a minor size imbalance with his nostrils. And though the first operation was a success, he encountered difficulty in breathing.
Returning to the doctor to fix the problem, an additional seven procedures were immediately done in an attempt to correct it. So much of the nose was removed that cartilage was extracted from the patients ribs and ears just to fill in the empty spaces.
Despite all the operations, the patient still ended up with a severely infected nose that required the entire thing to be amputated. Not only did this leave the patient horribly disfigured, he ended up losing his job because of his hideous appearance.
And while many of the subsequent surgeries conducted by the first doctor were free, surgeries by others were not.
Although the operations were conducted in the United States, had they taken place in the UK, it would mean that the Medical negligence claims filed by the patient would cover all medical and surgical costs conducted by all the other doctors. The salary that the patient lost due to his disfigurement will also be covered. Finally, the loss of future income will be added to the total figure.
