If a case to change the law in New Zealand and allow clients to SUE their doctors....this is it!
An Otago dental hospital has apologised to a woman who had part of her jaw removed after being wrongly diagnosed with mouth cancer.
The misdiagnosis happened after a laboratory worker at Medlab Dental, part of the University of Otago Dental Hospital, dropped two samples on the floor and mixed them up. As a result the 63-year-old patient was wrongly diagnosed with cancer and had the right side of her upper jaw removed. An area on the woman's lower leg where bone and blood vessels were taken to reconstruct her jaw later became infected and she had trouble walking.
Beware any doctor from Otago Dental University. I am curious as to the nationality of the lab worker and the doctor. Otago University allows many nationalities to gain education due to the higher fees charged.
Change the NZ law and allow us to sue them to the last dollar!
