Investigations are ongoing at the Târgu Jiu Hospital in Romania after a woman underwent abdominal hernia surgery while in her ninth month of pregnancy. The surgeon failed to notice she was with child prior to the start of the operation.
The doctor who performed the surgery claims that the 35-year-old woman signed a disclaimer stating that she was not pregnant. Both the hospital manager and the spokesperson told Euronews Romania that the surgeon diagnosed the patient without performing an ultrasound, deeming it unnecessary.
