A woman in Narathiwat province in the south of Thailand had to ask for help to organize Paveena for children and women after a nurse accidentally forgot the needle in her vagina while suturing her wound after giving birth.
On Monday, 4/11, Arueman Wa-ngoi, the village head, called Ms. Paweena Hongsakul, President of Paveena for children and women to ask for help for this woman.The leader said the woman could not afford the cost of treatment and surgery needed to withdraw the needle from the body.
It is known that the woman gave birth 18 years ago at a hospital in the province.During the process of suturing the wound after giving birth, a nurse accidentally dropped a needle into her vagina.
The doctor tried to locate the needle by hand but failed.This person has no other choice but continues to prevent more severe complications and blood loss for patients.Unfortunately, the needle has caused the woman to constantly abdominal pain since then.The woman took X-ray last year in a hospital in the southern Songkhla province and the results showed that the needle still exists.
The needle is still inside the body of a 36 -year -old woman.
The doctor had planned to have surgery for her twice but could not conduct it because the needle continued to move, making it difficult to determine the exact position to take it out.
The woman had to go to the hospital 3-4 times per month for the next treatment process and this treatment was paid under the welfare program of the National Health Security Office (NHSO).
However, additional costs for eating and travel have become a financial burden for the family.The woman later searched for help from her community leader in the hope that they could finally get the needle.
Paveena Hongsakul, the founder of the fund, promised to support her and coordinate with the Human Security Office and Social Development of Narathiwat province to solve her case.The report did not specify whether the woman intended to sue the hospital, a doctor or nurse involved in the case.
In a related case, another Thai woman almost lost her life after the medical team forgot her gauze inside her uterus during cancer treatment.She had severe infections and had to rely on the media to claim justice after the hospital denied the responsibility.
