Heavily pregnant Maria De Jesus with appendicitis lost her life after two unsupervised trainee surgeons mistakenly removed one of her ovaries at Queen's Hospital, Romford, Essex.
The 32 year old teaching assistant was discharged 8 days after the bungled operation, but re-admitted 6 days later with stomach pains, which resulted to miscarriage after 2 days.
19 days after the wrong procedure, she was in the theatre again for the removal of the appendix, but died on the operating table after her appendix was finally removed.
The General Medical Council is investigating 8 medical staff of the hospital, including senior surgical consultant Dr. Babatunde Coker over the death.
This is serious!! In the United Kingdom? God have mercy.
