Hospital Performs Abortion on the Wrong Pregnant Woman in Horrifying Patient Mix-up

[Turd Fergusen]

I wish this was tasteless April Fools joke, but it's not.

Multiple investigations are underway after Czech Republic doctors performed an abortion on the wrong woman.

Medics mistakenly terminated the fetus of an expectant mother who was four months pregnant on March 25, according to The Evening Standard.

The victim had arrived at Bulovka University Hospital in Prague for what she thought would be a routine check-up, the outlet reported.

However, she was instead placed under anaesthesia intended for another patient and a curettage, or surgical cleaning of the uterus, was instead performed without her consent or knowledge, resulting in a miscarriage.

Nurses, doctors, a gynaecologist and an anesthesiologist failed to notice the error and the shocking snafu was blamed by medics on a “language barrier,” according to the report.

Doctors confused her with another patient as both women did not speak Czech well.

I wonder what constitutes 'compensation' for something like this in the Czech Republic?

That is a disaster and a tragedy. These doctors did a horrible thing not just to this woman and her baby, but also to their family. I've never heard of a mix-up of this nature happening, but I bet it is not the first time. Even with abortion laws in the US being more restrictive than they previously were, it could very well happen over here too.

Oops.

Oh, it's a joke of an article, alright.

The article asserts the impossible, the unlikely, the illegal, and the absurd.

The other patient wasn't coming in for an abortion but for treatment for a miscarriage.
"Curettage" is the giveaway.
There was no abortion, and no other patient seeking an elective abortion.

It's already hard enough to get young women to seek prenatal care, and articles like this 100% discourage that. Urban myths have power.

This "news" story is what's criminal and immoral here, and if I had a gun I'd shoot this article and burn it in a firepit.

Definitely not positive but could this be another DEI screw up?
