@ouma_neko If you must cheat don't marry you are too weak for marriage. If you can't tame your wandering eyes and lustful proclivities you are too weak for marriage. Don't marry. If you can commit to the relationship you are too weak don't marry. Everything else is just verbiage
FIBROIDS & MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE.
In 2019, a woman with uterine FIBROIDS walked into the Nairobi Hospital for laparoscopic surgery by Dr. Thagana, a senior Obstetrics Gynaecologist with 40+ years of experience.
However, in the course of surgery, Dr. Thagana decided to abandon the laparoscopic surgery and convert to an open surgery without consent. He removed the uterus and later said that the fibroids were too large for laparoscopic surgery.
2 days after the surgery, she woke in pain and wet bedding and ended up losing her ability to control urine. Infections, pelvic abscesses, and other complications followed. She had to be moved from HDU to ICU and stayed in hospital for months.
Following her complaint to the KMPDC, the doctor was found guilty of professional misconduct and ordered to compensate the victim. He appealed to the High Court.
The High Court noted that the patient had actually signed the consent form, not to consent but to refuse consent. The doctor had no right to take any step further. The patient had a right to refuse treatment.
The court also faulted the doctor for failing to take basic preliminary steps. Finding calcified fibroids was not surprising because they had been diagnosed 10 years earlier.
If the doctor had undertaken the preliminary procedures and radiological investigations, it would probably have revealed the presence of calcification. The results would have enabled the patient to make an informed choice as to whether to proceed with the surgery.
As a specialist, a higher degree of skill was required of him than a doctor who doesn't profess such special skills and training.
The High Court found him liable for negligence.
Nairobi Hospital was cleared and absolved of liability since Dr. Thagana was not their employee but an independent doctor who was using their facilities. The court found that the facilities provided were not questioned, nor did they contribute to the injuries. Dr. Thagana was held personally liable.
