Man’s Gallstones Diagnosed As Pains From Past Hysterectomy
KIWI dad Les Kennington was told by medics that his acute stomach pains were the result of a past hysterectomy. Sure, he’s a man but his medical report says he has a hysterectomy. The report cannot be wrong. It’s in the system.
Says Les:
“A few years ago I did have an operation to correct a hernia, but it’s concerning they could not tell the difference between a hernia and a hysterectomy, nor could they tell the difference between a male and a female.”
And because it’s on file, Les – and can that unisex name be blamed in part? – the file cannot be altered:
The District Health Boards said it was a Radiologist College requirement that all imaging reports that had amendments made to them did not override any previous information contained in a report, and that the original report remained on the patient’s file for future reference.
The system cannot be wrong…
