Doctor sprayed woman’s genitals with Potassium hydroxide, not vinegar

A northeast Ohio woman says her gynecologist sprayed her genitals with a chemical that’s used to unclog drains.

The woman told WKYC that she was undergoing a routine colposcopy exam at Paragon Health in Akron when Dr. John Black used a spray bottle to squirt liquid into her vaginal canal.

It’s not unusual for doctor’s to use diluted vinegar when examining a woman’s private parts, and that’s what the bottle was marked as, but a lawsuit filed by the woman claims Black sprayed potassium hydroxide on her cervix and surrounding areas.

That’s the same chemical used in drain cleaner.

“It was like an open cut with rubbing alcohol being poured into it,” Laura said.

According to the suit,Black immediately suspected something was wrong and placed a tiny amount of the liquid into a cup and tasted it on the tip of his tongue.

Black then irrigated the burn area with three bottles of saline solution and applied a cream to numb the pain using his bare hands, the suit claims.

“I hope you’re not offended,” Laura says the doctor told her. “I just want to let you know I’ve been married forever, and I don’t have any diseases.”

According to hospital records, a plastic bottle cap was found behind her cervix, and the couple says Paragon gave inaccurate information about the pH level of the liquid sprayed inside Laura’s body.

The doctor’s office claimed it was a harmless 7.5 level but was in fact 12 or higher, which Ball said would be damaging to the body.

Laura said her injuries have prevented her from having sex with her husband or swimming with her children and has caused ongoing, irregular bleeding.

The couple says they’d hoped to have more children, but Laura said she’ll likely need a hysterectomy.

I honestly cannot believe such a mistake was made. This is absolutely horrifying.
 
That's fucking disgusting. Weirdly, the bit that got me most was "bare hands" and "I've been married forever"? What wacky medical school did he go to, on what planet to ever think that was okay!?
 
I never knew they used vinegar in exams either. I'll never look at salt and vinegar crisps the same way again.
 
My first thought:

My second thought:
Oh my god I hope she gets better.
 
Having just recently seen vaginal exam in medschool, I have to say: that is one very, very stupid doctor.

She should sue.

Uh, is that normal procedure? Why wouldn't he use gloves?

Maybe he didn't think, and was rushing to clean whatever he sprayed in out before it caused permanent damage.

Then again he should have had a pair on from the start, but again he could have had gloves on but got the spray on them and removed them, who knows.

The bottle cap behind the cervix seems like the reason she was at the gynea? Maybe they didn't need to put that in the article?

This seems to imply that the spray was filled with the wrong chemical somehow as well.
 
This is the female version of seeing someone get their balls kicked in or hearing about a dick injury and crossing your legs. Seriously, what the fuck. A burning sensation in there is just awful but a gyno being the cause? Ummmm.

Okay, well it was obviously a mistake bu-

his bare hands, the suit claims.

Also this is a very odd thing for the doc to say.
 
I don't get this. Why did the doctor have use KOH, was it not labeled?

This is terrible.

Edit: Saw the video. Wow, that doc really fucked up. How.

Edit 2: I suppose it unclogged her drain though.
I hate myself

Yeah, whoever prepared it (in their labs) and labelled it messed up big time. I don't even know how you can make such a monumental mistake.

As if that wasn't bad enough, the doctor's comments after are really questionable. And tasting the solution? Jesus.

Also, OP, the title isn't entirely accurate as it wasn't drain cleaner itself that he used. Potassium hydroxide (KOH) is a strong base that tends to be used in some drain cleaners.

He was in a hurry probably.

If you had to apply pressure to a wound or something this dangerous your time to apply new gloves would be minimal. It would be clean/possibly sterile gloves too. Which won't back up what he did in court. I'd suspect he was in a panic once he applied the wrong solution. That cap being left in her makes me think she got off of the examination table in a hurry and the cap was left in. What's astonishing is "wtf is plumbing cleaner doing near the examination room?" Double checking on medications and treatments should be a top priority even if you've done the procedure a hundred times.

How do you leave a cap near someone's cervix?

Toxins should be classified as possible suicide methods inside hospital examination rooms.

Probably because he didn't use gloves when he should have.

If I were the doctor I'd be more worried that the patient gave me a disease EDIT: rather than he giving it to her. But who knows what he did before the test if he said that.
 
I'll just say I tried using liquid VIM as a lubricant once when I was much younger... for fapping... yeah... much burning occured, and much peeling occured for months afterwards.

I share that womans pain.
 
A tad bit misleading, the article. That kind of solution is used to treat warts, so it is not uncommon for it to be there. The problem was the mislabel of the bottles and EVERYTHING else the doctor did.

He probably panicked and shat the bed hard.
 
I'm not sure how this could be an honest mistake. Vinegar and drain cleaner don't come in similar bottles. My guess is that one of the Doc's employees set him up. that or he's really messed in the head. My wife had one of these done recently and I noticed that the spray bottle was a run of the mill bottle marked with a sharpie Vinegar. I still don't think that anyone could mistake putting drain cleaner into one of those bottles.

They wouldn't be so incompetent to use a bottle that they were using for cleaning, would they?
 
drain cleaner? The stuff I used on my kitchen sink last week is some scary shit...
just pouring it immediately has the fumes hit you in the head like a brick, that stuff is highly acidic too

does she have terrible burns or something I don't dare click the link
