Court Acquitted A Kuwaiti Surgeon Who Was Accused In Forgetting A Piece Of Gauze Inside The Abdomen Of A Patient After An Operation
The Court of Cassation overturned the verdict issued by the Court of Appeals which accused a female Kuwaiti surgery consultant of forgetting a piece of gauze inside the abdomen of a patient after an operation. The court instead acquitted the surgeon. Due to severe pains following an operation, a Kuwaiti patient had filed a lawsuit against the surgeon who carried out the surgery on her in one of the hospitals of the country. When she conducted tests, a piece of gauze was discovered in her abdomen. She then called for punishing the surgeon.
The Court of Appeals did not punish the accused and instead obliged her to pay KD 1,000 to avoid execution and sign a pledge to maintain good conduct for 6 months. However, at the Cassation Court, the defense counsel Lawyer Hawra Al-Habib said the appealed verdict affirmed the doctor was not responsible for the damages after the operation as she exerted honest efforts in accordance to exceptional situations in line with medical science practices. She stressed that the complainant’s claims that her client forgot the gauze piece inside her uterus was illogical because the operation was done in another part of the body, which therefore makes the allegations against her client impossible.
