Rumah sakit memiliki fungsi utama penyembuhan dan
pemulihan kesehatan
Agar dapat menjalankan fungsi tersebut RS perlu
didukung organisasi dan manajemen yang baik yang
berorientasi pada mutu pelayanan
Sayangnya kemajuan tegnologi sebagian tidak dibarengi
dengan budaya pelayanan kesehatan
Dalam berbagai situasi pasien sering menjadi korban
In St. Louis Park, Minnesota, a patient was submitted at Park Nicollet Methodist
Hospital to have one of his kidneys removed because it had a tumor believed to be
cancerous. Instead, doctors removed the healthy one.
"The discovery that this was the wrong kidney was made the next day when the
pathologist examined the material and found no evidence of any malignancy," said
Samuel Carlson, M.D. and Park Nicollet Chief Medical Officer. The potentially
cancerous kidney remained intact and functioning. For privacy and family's request, no
details about the patient were released.
THE SURGEON WHO REMOVED THE
WRONG LEG
In what was, perhaps, the most publicized case of a surgical mistake in its time, a Tampa (Florida)
surgeon mistakenly removed the wrong leg of his patient, 52-year-old Willie King, during an
amputation procedure in February 1995.
It was later revealed that a chain of errors before the surgery culminated in the wrong leg being
prepped for the procedure. While the surgeon's team realized in the middle of the procedure that
they were operating on the wrong leg, it was already too late, and the leg was removed. As a result
of the error, the surgeon's medical license was suspended for six months and he was fined $10,000.
University Community Hospital in Tampa, the medical center where the surgery took place, paid
$900,000 to King and the surgeon involved in the case paid an additional $250,000 to King.
