Madam Faith Gao has sued the hospital and one of its surgeons, alleging their"negligence" led to an injury to her kidney, while SGH has countersued over unpaid bills.New: You can now listen to articles.SINGAPORE: A woman who underwent surgery to remove her womb and related parts in her reproductive system at Singapore General Hospital is suing the hospital and a surgeon who performed the procedure, alleging negligence.
Mdm Gao was infertile and underwent two prior surgeries in 2000 and 2011, her lawyer, Mr Gan, said in his opening statement. However, Mdm Gao developed intermittent abdominal pain around June 2019. She sought medical attention in December 2019 at another hospital, the defendants' lawyers said. Mdm Gao has two witnesses for her case - Dr Lewis Liew, who performed general surgery on Mdm Gao, and Dr Gong Ing San, an"expert on surgery".Dr Liew, a urologist, concluded that the ureal impairment was due to the surgery with Prof Tan, said Mr Gan.
They alleged that while Dr Liew later"backtracked" and issued a clarification report saying he had been only"speculating", the damage had been done.
