科罗拉多州的一名73岁女子在医生错误地摘除肾脏9个月后于周五去世。 两个月前，手

Woolley在手术前一直过着积极的生活，在空闲时间骑马和游泳。 但医疗混乱结束了所
有这一切，导致祖母每周三次进行四小时的透析治疗。
A 73-year-old woman in Colorado died on Friday, nine months after doctors
wrongly removed her kidneys. The surgery followed a mistaken diagnosis of
cancer two months prior.
Prior to her death, Linda Woolley told Denver news station KDVR that her “
life was totally changed” after she underwent the needless surgery in May,
which doctors at the University of Colorado Hospital ordered after telling
her in March that they’d found cancer in both of her kidneys based on
pathology reports. But she later discovered that the reports actually showed
“no evidence of malignancy” from results “consistent with a benign
process.”
Woolley had been leading an active life before the surgery, riding horses
and swimming in her free time. But the medical mix-up put an end to all that
, leading the grandmother to undergo four-hour dialysis treatments three
times a week.

A family friend was diagnosed with liver cancer by his doctor and basically
told to go home and get his affairs in order. He was devastated. We implored
him to get a second opinion which he did a few weeks later. It turned out
to be a form of hepatitis that was fully treatable. That was over a decade
ago and he is still alive and well. Needless to say, he switched doctors.

I spent my entire career in the medical field and have witnessed many horror
stories....a male friend died of lung cancer two weeks after being
discharged with a clear chest film; a stout female friend had a mastectomy
due to "cancer" which turned out to be benign. She was never told and later
had the other breast removed because it's large size severely affected her
posture and caused back pain; a thoracic surgeon "accidentally" remove a
perfectly healthy lung, leaving the malignant lung untouched. Unfortunately,
there are many more such cases throughout the country. Also, more people
die from medical errors and hospital-acquired diseases than from gunfire.

Privacy privilege lies with the patient, not the doctor or hospital. If the
patient waives the privacy rights then the doctor or hospital cannot claim
privilege. They can refuse to release details if they are being sued. They
have not been sued (yet) so they have no right to withhold information. This
is criminal negligence causing death. Doctors are held to a higher standard
when they are functioning within their role as doctors because they have
expert training that make them more knowledgeable and proficient in their
field than the average person. They have the skills to "know better" and if
they fail to exercise proper procedures to ascertain (with a reasonable
degree of accuracy) that something so serious as removing both kidneys is
indeed necessary, then they have failed to meet the standard of treatment
that the patient deserves. At the very least, the test to determine if
cancer was present should have been performed twice before removing BOTH
kidneys! This is so outrageous and heartbreaking for her family and the
suffering she had to needlessly endure.

And that is why you should always get a second or even a third opinion when
something major like this is being recommended. Doctors are human. They make
mistakes. So do people in labs. I was told I needed open heart surgery for
a value issue. Second opinion was I had a mild, non-threatening heart murmur
. Did not have the surgery. That was 20 years ago.

Everyone needs to be their own advocate. Get second and third opinions,
before making any decision. My heart goes out to Linda, her family and
friends. This story is so sad. These medical folks need to have their

My late father had a similar disaster of an experience here in Canada. He
went to a small town Doctor who did NO bloodwork after diagnosing him with
hypertension. (high blood pressure) Had bloodwork been done, the fact that
his kidneys were failing would have been immediately discovered........and
he could have been put on a special diet and received medication. As a
result of the misdiagnosis, his kidneys completely failed a couple of years
later, and he spent his final years on dialysis - which robbed him of his
lifestyle. I told him to get a referral to a specialist and get a second
opinion when he got the diagnosis of high blood pressure, but of course he
did not take my advice.........big mistake.

A similar thing happened to me. I went into surgery to have 2 parts of my
lung removed because they said I had ( not maybe)cancer. The first thing I
heard when I came to was that it wasn't cancer. They removed the "suspicious
" pieces anyways. I have had severe problems breathing ever since. I will
never understand why they removed non-cancerous parts of my lung.

Those medical staff responsible for the diagnoses and removal of her kidneys
should have their licences cancelled, and not be allowed to practice in the
USA. Their insurance must pay punitive damages to the family of the
deceased $10M to $100M.

About 10 years ago during my annual kidney scan for kidney cancer, for which
I'm a survivor, the scan went too high and they said I had "something"
unusual in the lower lobe of my left lung. After numerous scans and tests to
include two biopsies, the VA surgeon called me in and said that they were
going to remove my left lung in a week...when I said "The biopsy came back
positive?" She said "NO, we'll do a biopsy when we remove your lung!" Of
course after a shouting match I left the VA hospital and went to UCLA's
Jonssen Cancer Center....there tests confirmed I didn't have lung cancer but
scar tissue from multiple bouts of pneumonia and wear and tear from 70
years on this Planet! If YOU value your Health "Stay away from the VA,
giving Veterans a second chance to die for their country since 1930!"

Except for her age (73 years old) had she been much younger I'd start to
suspect this might have been an illegal organ sale, I have known a few
people who had cancer and the doctors did tons of tests and such before any
kind of surgery was ordered. Maybe the state should investigate these
doctors and see if this has happened with them before...

My Aunt kept her body in amazing condition and at 88, she didn’t feel right
so the doctors ran tests on her and found cancer in one of her Kidney’s
and they decided rather than cutting into that Kidney, they would remove it
and when they did, they found the same cancer in the other Kidney !
From start to finish she didn’t make it a year ?
I’m not a Doctor but at 88 years old and in terrific shape, you’ve already
won the game, why ruin the rest of your life with trying to prevent the
impossible ?
She could have done nothing and at least lived a couple of more years or
maybe even 5 more years !
Her Doctors should have known better at 88 you only need to get the good
drugs and see how long you can cheat Death !

Hubby had 1/3 of his lung removed after a cancer diagnosis. Turned out he
had a rare form of pneumonia that mimics cancer. Lawsuit HA! They told us
that partial removal was part of the "cure" for his disease. Now my hubby
uses oxygen at night and a nebulizer 4 times a day. I still think the
results of that surgery actually made him worse.

You are missing an important point... The Docs and the hospital made money,
who cares about some 73 year woman. My post is meant to be sarcastic but
unfortunately I know that sometimes the thought of additional monetary gain
does supersede a patient receiving the treatment that would benefit them the
most. My father, before he passed away many years ago, was diabetic. Due to
poor circulation to his legs it was determined by a doctor that one leg
needed to be amputated. My brother took him to another doctor who said he
could insert a stint, just like used in heart cases, and he would be fine
for yours to come. The procedure was done, it was not life altering as the
amputation would have been, the recovery time was basically a couple of days
and he died without having the leg amputated.
