Docs attach woman's colon to her vagina in botched cancer surgery

A woman who underwent surgery to remove skin cancer left the hospital with a very different result: Doctors mistakenly attached her colon to her vagina, causing her to relieve gas from her genitals. Central European News (CEN) reported that three years after the error occurred, Jasminka Velkovska is speaking out about the botched procedure to put pressure on the Macedonia hospital, which promised her more than $33,000 as compensation for the error. Velkovska is reportedly still waiting to receive about one-third of that payment.

"While I was recovering, doctors came and asked me if I was passing gas, and I said, ‘Yes, but it’s coming out of my vagina,’” Velkovska told media in Macedonia, according to CEN. "They told me that it would soon pass and I would be OK, but stuff had started to come out of my vagina, and I was feeling scared, and it was all very unpleasant."

Velkovska reportedly discovered the mistake after receiving an X-ray that not only showed her vagina and colon had been tied together, but also that her carcinoma was still intact. She opted to have the skin cancer removed at another institution. The botched procedure took place at the September 8th Hospital in the Macedonia capital of Skopje.

CEN reported that Velkovska and her lawyers reached an agreement with the hospital managers outside of court, indicating the hospital would pay her about $33,000. She has received the majority of that sum but is awaiting about $11,000.

Word to the wise-don't get surgery in Macedonia.

How the fuck

NOOOOOO NOOOO NOOOOO

Take away that guy's medical license this instant, Jesus Christ.

 

[Fury451]

How the fuck

Seriously

[SliceSabre]

This is one of the more embarrassing surgery mishaps I've heard of. Can't believe the hospital is still fighting her.

 

[Hoo-doo]

That is incompetence on an entirely new level.

Who was her surgeon, Dr. fucking Mario?

 

[Euron]

NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE


SO

MUCH

NOPE



NOOOOOOOOOOOOOPE

 

[OmegaFax]

There's probably a few choice quotes from Clerks II that would work for this thread ... but damn, that's terrible.

 

[ColdLasagna]

Fucking doctors just get done with a Human Centipede marathon or something??

Ugh... dating is sure going to be

Spoiler

shitty

. If she is married, well that is going to be a pain in the... ok, I'm out.

Poor gal.

 

[makingmusic476]

So did they open her up and start sewing random things together?

 

[B-Dubs]

So wait...she....oh that's nasty...

How do you fuck up that bad?

It's gonna get fixed, right?

 

[nekkid]

"She opted to have the skin cancer removed at another institution."

Too bloody right.

Fuck.

 

[JadedWriter]

Queefing is hot...till it's not queefing.

 

[Fox318]

Does she plan on getting it fixed?

Wouldn't a botch such as this lead to potential infections of the colon and lower intestinal track?

 

[Sephzilla]

How do you fuck something like that up

 

[spindashing]

Okay, that's fucking awful.

 

[FTF]

oh wow, that's awful.

But I do look forward to the future Southpark episode.

 

[studyguy]

That's fucking horrific dude. Not only did they switch things out down there, but they didn't even fix the original issue.

 

[jrcbandit]

Does Europe have really crap payouts for medical malpractice or something? A screw-up like that deserves way more than $33k.

 

[CapitalismSucks DonkeyBalls]

Human Queefipede.

 

[EstoyBlackWaldo]

NO. And she's only getting how much $33K?! NO. NO. That must have been traumatizing. NO.

 

[B-Dubs]

Does she plan on getting it fixed?

Wouldn't a botch such as this lead to potential infections of the colon and lower intestinal track?

I would imagine that's not all that's going to get infected if they don't fix it.

 

[Aliquidmeri]

$33,000... imagine how much she would have gotten in America.

Spoiler

She would deserve it.

 

[NintendoGal]

That doesn't seem like fair compensation for the circumstances. The fact that they're not done paying her is just the cherry on the shit sundae she's forced to endure.

 

[Ferrio]

Only 33k? That seems awfully on the low side for that sorta mixup AND not removing the cancer.

 

[Caelus]

That's... that's something. Not even my imagination could go that far. Really hope she recovers.

 

[liquidtmd]

I'd want half a million at least and I'm not a mercenary guy at all

 

[FTF]

$33,000... imagine how much she would have gotten in America.

Spoiler

She would deserve it.

At least $500k.

 

[perfectchaos007]

I didn't realize they had to be that invasive to get rid of skin cancer. Makes me scared to get my moles checked out

 

[nekkid]

$33,000... imagine how much she would have gotten in America.

She would deserve it.

I don't know a lot about Macedonia, but I dare say that's probably a decent sum. I'm not suggesting this is adequate for what happened. Especially considering THEY DIDN'T GET RID OF THE FUCKING CANCER...

Simplifies the shocker somewhat

 

[liquidtmd]

Would normal sex constitute anal?

HarSon's perfect woman

Good lord.

 

[Abounder]

Average annual wage in Macedonia is less than $5k but she definitely deserves to sue the hospital for more especially if they don't pay up

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Mistakes happen

Spoiler

the doctor's a fucking idiot

 

[NeoGold123]

"... But stuff had started to come out..."

Oh. My. God. The horror.

 

[Rootbeer]

This poor woman.

She could have gotten WAY MORE than $33k. Deserved more, too.

 

[Viewt]

Yeah, but don't worry - it was just as a goof.

 

[rashbeep]

That is seriously fucked up

 

[Greddleok]

This doesn't add up. Sure, fucking up surgery and doing the wrong procedure isn't that rare (or isn't as rare as it should be)...

but for what reason could there ever be to attach a colon to a vagina? It's not some usual procedure. It's an outlandish mistake.

I dunno, I find it hard to believe.

 

[HeySeuss]

Simplifies the shocker somewhat

This post stinks.

 

[psynergylover]

I can't even comprehend how they made this mistake!

did they think they were playin Operation!? get a buzz sound if they did something wrong!!

 

[Master Milk]

I don't know a lot about Macedonia, but I dare say that's probably a decent sum. I'm not suggesting this is adequate for what happened. Especially considering THEY DIDN'T GET RID OF THE FUCKING CANCER...

google says 33k maces is about 600 us

seems on the low end to me

 

[John Kowalski]

Inflammable means flammable? What a country!

 

[nekkid]

Wasn't it meant to be the equivelant of $33k?
