北區醫院驗錯乳癌割錯胸36歲女病人患良性瘤 疑調亂檢查樣本出事
2008年9月20日
【明報專訊】北區醫院發生嚴重醫療失誤，一名被診斷患上乳癌的36歲女病人，上月26日在該院接受手術切除左邊乳房，院方覆檢病人手術前後的組織樣本，以及為病人做活組織DNA測試，周三證實該名女病人並無乳癌，醫院錯誤施行切除手術，令原本只有一個2吋良性腫瘤的女病人，無故失去一邊乳房。
醫院鄭重道歉﹕未知出錯源頭
北區醫院署理醫院行政總監鍾展鴻對事件感到遺憾，已向病人及家屬鄭重道歉，但院方迄今仍未知道哪個程序出錯，甚至不知惡性腫瘤樣本屬於哪個病人。醫管局新界東聯網成立專家小組調查，約6至8星期後完成報告。

I was shocked when I heard this news from the radio boardcast station in this afternoon. How can this kind of medical error happen in a HK hospital nowadays? How come this incident happened like one of the scenes in a soap TV drama or movie? Sigh....this medical error will cause enormous physical and mental damage to this patient and her family.
