After having surgery for a cyst, 18-year-old Alison had a hemorrhage. She would then have received ten times too much insulin. The hospital announces


Entering the southern hospital of Rennes for an almost banal operation on May 16, the young Alison, 18, still did not come out. Worse, she has since been plunged into a severe hypoglycaemic coma. His mother, a resident of Hambye (Manche), intends to file a complaint, as revealed by France Bleu. "I don't want that to happen again and I want to know, for Alison, who did this and apologize, take responsibility." It is not a mistake, it is a medical fault, this person must not practice any more and it is not the money of the insurance which will bring back our daughter. I'm not afraid, I'll go all the way, ”Sabrina Boisloret explains to the radio.

This nightmare began on May 11 when the young girl was hospitalized for an operation for an ovarian cyst. The following days, the young girl complains of abdominal pain, "all week," according to her mother. After another examination by the doctors, a CT scan revealed that she was suffering from a "big hemorrhage". Once again transferred to the operating room, Alison is the victim, according to her mother, of an "insulin injection error." She received a dose ten times the normal. In the recovery room, she regained a little consciousness and then went back to sleep, ”she describes to Ouest-France.

Since then, she has been in a deep coma in the surgical intensive care unit of the CHU Pontchaillou (Ille-et-Vilaine).

It is then the answers given by the medical team to the mother that will provoke the anger of the Normande.

Convinced of a serious medical error, she planned to meet with a lawyer specializing in medical matters this week.

The hospital recognizes "a medical accident" at the origin of the coma

“The anesthesiologist made a computer error, he typed on the keyboard and it made two zeros instead of one.

They told me that a diabetic who wanted to kill himself injects that dose.

Normally, there is a software which alerts in the event of typing errors, there, one explains to me that it did not work ”, despairs Sabrina to France 3.

Worse still, a member of the CHU would have compared, with a certain clumsiness, the accident of his daughter to a failure of "recipe for chocolate cake".

“ 

If you make a mistake in a chocolate cake and you put 7 liters of milk instead of 70 cl it is dead, the cake is missed

.

That's what they told me as an excuse and I said you don't compare a life to a chocolate cake, I don't admit that, no, ”the mother enraged.

While waiting for her daughter to wake up, without knowing the potential consequences, Sabrina goes to her bedside every night. To make her listen to "hits from the 1980s, which she loved so much".
