From the second day of entry, three surgeries were performed within two weeks, on the abdomen, arms, and thighs.
Ms. Huang, who felt pain after the operation, went to the hospital and asked to be admitted. Especially on the day after the third operation, she felt difficulty moving due to pain at the surgical site.
Ms. Huang said that the hospital put an ice pack on him in the recovery room and injected him with antibiotics. At around 10 p.m., the medical staff got off work, leaving only Ms. Huang and her Care- giver.
Ms. Huang spent the night in the recovery room that day. The next day, as her condition worsened, the nursing staff called 119 and she was sent to the University Hospital.
When Miss Huang Menglin arrived at the university hospital, necrotizing fasciitis, which caused muscle decay due to wound infection, had deteriorated into sepsis, and she died after suffering torticollis for more than a month.
The family members of the deceased were very angry and said that what he said when he woke up before his death was "too painful".
[Huang Quangen/father of the late Huang Menglin: It’s really heartbreaking. We will follow up and take legal action. ]
We lodged a police complaint against the director of plastic surgery, alleging professional negligence and breaches of medical law.
[Lee Jung-eun/Lawyer for the deceased’s family: Although (the deceased) reported considerable pain to the hospital’s doctors, the hospital did not provide appropriate treatment or transfer to a large hospital. In the end, the hospital blocked the patient’s last opportunity to receive treatment. ]
The police will conduct an autopsy on Mr. Huang tomorrow (19th) and are checking the CCTV in the operating room.
SBS visited the plastic surgery clinic where the surgery was performed and asked for its position by phone, but the hospital declined to respond.
However, according to the medical records submitted by the hospital to the family of the deceased, the day after Miss Huang Menglin's third operation, after appropriate treatment by the hospital, her symptoms improved, and he tried to draw blood to check whether there was inflammation ; the blood was collected and under analysis in the hospital at the time of this report
