Medical errors: A doctor in South Korea performs abortion on the wrong woman due to mix-up of medical charts

The Police have launched an investigation in South Korea, after a doctor performed an abortion by mistake.

Errors arose from mix-up of medical records

On August 7, a pregnant patient with a 6-week-old fetus had gone to a clinic in district of Gangseo, in the country’s capital Seoul, according to the Gangseo police. At the clinic, a mix-up in medical charts and failure to check her identity led to the mistaken abortion.

Findings of Police investigations

The doctor and nurse in charge are under investigation and the case will soon be sent to the prosecutor’s office, police told CNN.
“The doctor and nurse have acknowledged their fault,” a police official said.They are now being charged for negligence resulting in bodily harm.

How the mistake happened

According to South Korean news agency Yonhap, the patient was supposed to receive a nutritional shot at the clinic. The nurse had allegedly injected her with anesthesia without confirming her identity, and the doctor had performed the abortion without checking her identity either, Yonhap reported. The patient had been unaware of the procedure. The doctor carried out the abortion on the wrong woman, an error he could have avoided if he had cross-checked.

Abortion still illegal in South Korea

However, under existing laws, the practice remains illegal and is technically punishable by up to a year in prison. Exceptions are granted in cases where the parents have hereditary diseases, the pregnancy is due to rape or incest, or the fetus is threatening the life of the mother. Abortion laws in South korea is restrictive.

Court moves to liberalize abortion laws

South Korea moved to legalize abortion in April this year, with the country’s constitutional court ruling that lawmakers must revise existing laws by December 31, 2020.

More than 50, 000 women terminated their pregnacies last year

An estimated 50,000 abortions were carried out in South Korea last year, according to the country’s Health Ministry. Actual numbers may be much higher, since the criminalization of the practice distorted reporting of it.

Very costly error

Nigerian Doctors be like : we are not the only ones making costly mistakes

As a non pro-choice who is neither a fan of abortions,
I know abortions can be prevented through self-discipline.

What manner of indiscipline will make an adult who knows that he is coming lack the moral strength to just pull out?

That's how Baba Muliatu was shouting on his son Hafizu for wetting the bed.
I simply asked him, if it was so easy to get up and pee outside...how come you have 8 children?

Self-discipline is everything.

This is the height of it all!

The Dr should put her baby back!

It's not the woman that makes sex enjoyable: It's the sperm you release that makes it! The woman serves as a tool to make that happen! Whenever you have enough sperm in you, you feel the urge to have sex! That's why after climaxing (release of sperm) during sex, you feel like" is that not all, why have I been killing myself about her all these while?" Now, you can see that women are not useful in any way to a man!
