Bullet Removed from Brain of 2-Year-Old Shot in Vratsa
Doctors at "Pirogov" Hospital successfully extracted a bullet from the brain of a 2-year-old child who was airlifted from Vratsa following a tragic shooting incident
Doctors from the emergency "Pirogov" hospital in the Bulgarian capital Sofia have done surgery on a toddler's healthy arm, the hospital press center informed.
The child – a girl, 1 year and 10 months of age, was scheduled to have part of the bone in her right arm removed. The surgeons' team, however, operated her left arm.
According to the "Pirogov" press center, the reason was a technical mistake made at the time the toddler was admitted at the hospital.
The receiving physician and the assistant surgeon will be sanctioned by a "dismissal warning," while the head surgeon could be fired, despite the fact she immediately realized the mistake and closed the surgical opening.
The mistake will not leave the child's left arm damaged.
The case is investigated by a special commission, which issued the proposal for the penalties against the three doctors. The final decision must be made by the hospital head, Dimitar Radenovski, who has declined comments on the case.
