Bike accident blunder
Quote:
A Tanzanian hospital has mixed up two patients who share the same first name, resulting in a surgery blunder.
Emmanuel Didas, who was admitted for a knee operation after a motorbike accident, is now unconscious in intensive care after head surgery.
Meanwhile, chronic migraine sufferer Emmanuel Mgaya is recovering from an unplanned knee operation.
Some angry relatives are demanding a full investigation into the incident at Muhimbili Hospital in Dar es Salaam.
Doctors at Muhimbili National and Referral Hospital are unwilling to comment on the incident which occurred last week, but was not officially reported. The Ministry of Health and Social Welfare says it has ordered an inquiry into the medical blunder.
