A family claiming medical malpractice is fighting to bring the perpetrators to justice.

– One surgeon came from above and after a while another one came. Once he touched me, he said it was appendicitis. The next morning I asked the doctor what was wrong with me. He replied that they did not do much and did not find the appendix, the man recalled.
The hospital does not feel responsible: we made every effort
The hospital management does not take responsibility. According to them, the procedure was performed correctly, but they were initially diagnosed with a different disease than originally expected.
– The patient can blame everything, but I can't tell you everything I know.

Everything that could be used was used – explains Dr. Marek Szymković from the Niza Health Complex.
