Friends of critical woman claim malpractice
SANTA CLARA, Cuba - May 31 (Karel Castillo,
Cubanacán Press / www.cubanet.org)
- A 31-year-old woman is in critical condition
at the Mariana Grajales maternity hospital
in Santa Clara since May 28 due to what
her friends call malpractice on the part
of doctors who operated on her.
Yazmín Albalá was operated
for ovarian cysts by a medical team led
by a Dr. Sandely, twice.
"She was operated on, but the ineptness
of the medical team left her with continued
discomfort," said Mirelys Domínguez,
a colleague of Albalá.
Domínguez said that on the second
operation, Dr. Sandely caused damage to
her aorta, and that Albalá has had
four cardiac arrests as a result.
Albalá is in the intensive care
unit at the hospital. She is a lab technician
at the Santa Clara clinic.
