I don't know what I ate.

Went to visit the doctor 2 times because the first prescription is not effective.

Too much rock melon? Hahah

I completely agree.

 

This is what I also say when the condom broke.

 

:D

Russian woman 'embalmed alive' in hospital blunder

ULYANOVSK (WASHINGTON POST) - It was supposed to be a simple procedure.

Relatives said 28-year-old Ekaterina Fedyaeva had been diagnosed with ovarian cysts - a condition in which fluid-filled sacs attach to the ovaries, then usually disappear on their own. But in some cases, according to the Mayo Clinic, doctors have to remove them.

Fedyaeva was advised that she needed a routine laparoscopic procedure to remove the cysts, relatives said, so she underwent surgery last month at a hospital in Ulyanovsk, a city in western Russia, according to RT, a Russian government-owned television network.

During the operation, medical personnel made a tragic and irreparable mistake: Russia's state-controlled news agency, Tass, reported that instead of administering saline solution, medical personnel mistakenly gave Fedyaeva formalin, a solution that contains formaldehyde - which is used to preserve dead bodies.

The medical team tried to wash Fedyaeva's abdominal cavity, according to Tass, but it was too late.

She was being embalmed - alive.

Fedyaeva's mother-in-law, Valentina Fedyaeva, told RT that after the operation, Fedyaeva told her mother, "Mom, I'm dying," but her mother thought that she was just complaining.
 

Then her organs started to fail, according to reports, and she was connected to machines to help keep her alive.

She died on Thursday, according to Tass.

The botched surgery has gained international attention with headlines such as "Russian woman dies after given formaldehyde instead of saline drip" and "Woman 'embalmed alive' in hospital error."

Rashid Abdullov, minister of health, family and social well-being for the Ulyanovsk region, called it "a terrible tragedy."

"My deepest condolences to the family, relatives of Ekaterina Fedyaeva," Abdullov wrote on Twitter late last week.

"This is a terrible tragedy. We will provide all the necessary aid to the family. Those responsible for the tragedy have been already brought to liability and the investigative agencies continue to work."

It's still unclear exactly how it happened, but Abdullov said medical personnel neglected to read the label on the lethal chemical before administering it to Fedyaeva during the operation, according to RT.

Russia's Federal Medical-Biological Agency confirmed that Fedyaeva was transported in critical condition from the hospital in Ulyanovsk to the A.I. Burnazyan Federal Medical and Biophysical Center in Moscow, where doctors and nurses tried to save her, according to RT.

The network reported that although she was suffering multiple-organ failure and had machines working for her lungs and kidneys, she briefly regained consciousness.

Fedyaeva's mother-in-law told RT that the young woman opened her eyes and whispered to them - a moment that she said gave them hope.

But her body could not clear the poison.

Family members and friends described Fedyaeva as a "sweet" and "tender" young woman who died far too soon, according to news reports.

Ulyanovsk Governor Sergey Morozov and local authorities have opened a criminal investigation into the incident and, on the governor's orders, the head doctor at the hospital in Ulyanovsk, as well as other medical personnel involved in the operation, has been dismissed, according to local news reports.

If criminally charged and convicted, the medical personnel could face time in prison, according to the reports.

A British consultant gynaecologist could be struck off the medical register for decapitating an unborn baby in the womb, while she was carrying out a delivery for a 30-year-old mother in 2014.

Dr Vaishnavy Laxman, 41, attended to the mother with a team of doctors at the Ninewells Hospital in Dundee on March 16, 2014, when the tragedy occurred.

According to British media reports, Dr Laxman should have performed an emergency caesarean section, as the premature infant was in a breech position.

However, she allegedly ignored advice and carried out a natural delivery.

The mother, known only as Patient A during Thursday's (May 10) hearing by the British Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service in Manchester, was told to push while traction was applied to the baby's legs.

As a result of this, the infant's legs, arms and torso became detached from the head, reported The Guardian.

 
 

Two other doctors later carried out a caesarean section to remove the baby's head, before it was reattached to his body, so that his mother could hold him to say goodbye.

The Telegraph reported that the mother had come face to face with Dr Laxman during the hearing.

"I don't forgive you - I don't forgive you," she said, as she looked at Dr Laxman, who has denied contributing to the death of the baby.

According to The Telegraph, the mother's water had broken early at 25 weeks and upon examination, her unborn baby was found to have a prolapsed cord. The infant was in a breech position, while the mother's cervix was around 2cm to 3cm dilated.

But it was revealed at the hearing that it has not been established whether the mother was in labour.

Recounting her ordeal, the mother said that she was told in an earlier scan that her son would be delivered by caesarean section.

But when she was taken to the labour suite, nobody had told her what was happening, she claimed.

"I was not given gas and air - I was in pain. I had the doctors putting their hands inside me and I had them pushing on my stomach and then pulling me down," she said.

"I tried to get off the bed but they pulled me back three times and just said they had to get the baby out.

"They twice tried to cut my cervix and nobody told me they were going to do it. There was no anaesthetic. I said to them 'it doesn't feel right, stop it, what's going on, I don't want to do it', but nobody responded to me in any way."

She told the hearing: "I would never use the word stillborn. He was not stillborn, he was decapitated."

Dr Laxman's lawyer Gerard Boyle addressed the mother during the hearing and said: "Dr Laxman has asked me to say she is so very sorry and deeply saddened for the outcome of your baby.

"She knows that no amount of words can or will soften your pain but she is hoping that knowing that what she was trying to do was her very best to deliver your baby quickly and sufficiently and she had best intentions at heart."
