Surgeons in the USA lost part of a patient's skull during surgery
In the USA, neurosurgeons lost part of a patient's skull during surgery. Fernando Cluster was admitted to the hospital with a stroke. To save his life, the doctors had to perform a craniotomy. Part of the patient's skull had to be temporarily removed and then sent to storage. When it was time to return the bone tissue to its place, it couldn't be found. Instead, the man was fitted with a prosthesis, for which an additional bill of $146,000 was issued. Moreover, during the implantation, Fernando was infected, forcing him to undergo another surgery. Cluster's relatives took the matter to court.
