MISMATCHED BLOOD TRANSFUSION LEADING TO DEATH OF A YOUNG LADY;-----

Negligence in giving blood belonging to the correct blood group during blood transfusion led to the death of a 25-year-old woman at KC General Hospital in Malleswaram on Thursday.

The deceased, BG Rajeshwari, was admitted to KC General Hospital on Saturday (June 29) for blood transfusion, as she was suffering from anaemia. Her two blood transfusions, on Saturday and on Monday, proved to be fatal as the hospital injected her with B+ve instead of O+ve which was Rajeshwari�s blood group � a deadly mistake in medical practice.

Rajeshwari�s family members noticed that her face and limbs had started swelling on Sunday.

Family members and Malleswaram police said Rajeshwari suffered for five days before breathing her last at Victoria Hospital at 3am on Thursday. It was only on Tuesday, after her second blood transfusion with the wrong blood group, that the hospital doctors realised their folly. Rajeshwari�s anxious family members immediately shifted her to Victoria Hospital on Tuesday.

According to Rajeshwari�s sister Jayalakshmi, the shocking thing was that Rajeshwari herself had pointed out to the doctors during Monday�s blood transfusion that they were giving her the wrong blood group, but they would not listen to her.

�I found swelling on her face, legs and other parts of the body. But, we were not able to find out what had gone wrong, said Jayalakshmi. �Later, I informed the nurses and forced them to stop the transfusion, but they told me that the blood group was indeed right and only the label on the bottle was wrong. They realised their mistake only when I showed them her earlier medical records. So, we shifted her to Victoria Hospital for further treatment. But she died in the early hours of Thursday,� Jayalakshmi said.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the hospital staff had conducted blood tests to transfuse the blood of her group (O+ve), but the lab technician, Bhagyalakshmi, allegedly told the nurse it was B+ve.

Rajeshwari was visiting KC General Hospital every three months for blood transfusion. Her regular doctor was not available when she visited the hospital this time.

Police said the technician�s and nurse�s negligence lay in failing to refer to Rajeshwari�s earlier medical records, which clearly stated her blood group.
The post-mortem at Victoria Hospital and medical records of the deceased too confirmed that the lab technician committed the mistake.

Rajeshwari�s mother Subhadra and relatives decided to file a case against the KC General hospital and staged protest at the hospital. Police have registered a case of death due to negligence.
this is one negligence from which we,doctors have no escape- How many safe blood seminars are organised by medical fraternity - still - this is happening- lack of supervision of the staff's work and taking things for granted,here a lady even pointed that wrong Blood is being transfused but still no care ,is a gross violance amounting to murders,DOCTORS and staff doing it must be punished heavily and no mercy should be shown to them,WE ARE TREATING PATIENTS AS THEIR GOD,ANY NEGLIGENCE IN OUR PART A MERE SIMPLE FOR US BUT IT IS DEATH FOR ONE PERSON,A FAMILY DESTROYS,A SOCIETY AND NATION IS BROKEN,WE CANNOT ESTIMATE THE LOSS ,ASK HER CHILDREN ,PARENTS,HUSBAND,RLATIVES AND IN LAWS ASSUME WHAT HAPPENS TO US IF IT HAPPENS IN OUR FAMILY - May God Bless the lady's soul to rest in peace.
BLOOD IS ONLY HOPE OF LIFE IN SERIOUS ILL OR INJURED OR DISEASED PATIENT AND IS THE BEST GIFT OF HUMAN BY HUMAN FOR HUMAN AND TO BE TRANSFUSED BY HUMAN BUT VERY CAREFULLY TAKING ALL SAFETY MEASURES OTHERWIS LIKE THIS SUCH BIG CATASTROPHY MAY HAPPEN ,AVOID IT,TAKE TIME,BE CAREFUL AT EVERY STEP STARTING FROM A BLLOD GROUP ,CROSSMATCHING,TRANSFUSING AND THEN MONITORING WHOLE TRANSFUSION AND AT LEASEST 48 HRS AFTER TRANSFUSION,A BAD BLOOD MAY CAUSE SIMPLE ALLERGIC REACTION,INFECTIONS,MALARIA, SYPHILLIS,HIV/AIDS/HEPATITIS B./HEPATITIS C CARDIAC,KIDNEY FAILURE,FEVER,RASHES,HIGH COLORED URINE,ANURIA AND DEATH.

I got a call from emergency that a 32 year old female had come with severe pain in abdomen & vomiting. She had pain since five days and no she was also running fever. I went to examine her. She looked familiar. She had my old case papers. She meet me couple of years back. She had Gallstones but refused to get operated because she said it was hardly causing any symptoms.She felt that the stones were very small and her granny had carried all her life without any trouble. Now she had come with big complication. Her gall bladder stone had impacted in the neck choking the gall bladder. As a result the gall bladder was full of pus, a condition called Empyema of the gall bladder. To complicate the matters she had since her delivery developed diabetes. I took her up for an emergency laparoscopy surgery. First I evacuated the pus. his allowed me the hold & move the gall bladder so as to dissect it out from the liver. I delivered the gall bladder successfully. Took me double the average time. I had to keep a drainage tube so that the toxins from her abdomen will gradually come out. I had to keep a nasogastric tube so as to avoid fluid and gas accumulation. There was not much blood loss. She took longer time to recover but eventually did very well. If she has got operated couple of years back, she would have recovered faster and would have spend much less money. - See more at: http://drbcshah.com/waited-too-long/#sthash.YqOrR8J4.dpuf

You are unique. There is no one else like you in the entire universe. In honor of your unique self, it is good to acknowledge and embrace the special qualities that make you the person that you are. One way to do this is to not compare yourself with other people.

It is human nature to want to see how we measure up in comparison to others � especially if we think that they are better than us or have more of something that we want. Yet the truth is that it is not a good use of time to compare ourselves with others because there is no one like us and this makes us incomparable. It is sometimes almost easier to look outside of ourselves and feel like we are deficient in comparison to other people rather than taking responsibility for our own progress in relation to the fulfillment of our life purpose. It actually takes more courage to be self-referential and look at ourselves to see whether we are measuring up to our standards or meeting our full potential. Each of us has very special gifts, and we are here for very specific reasons. We each have a life purpose to fulfill and with this come the lessons that we must learn and the circumstances that we must go through in order to evolve as spiritual beings. To compare our lives to other pe! ople�s lives when we have no idea of what they are here to learn or fulfill doesn�t benefit anyone � especially you.

Instead, if we can accept ourselves, appreciate the special talents and qualities that we alone possess, and realize that each of us is going through certain kinds of experiences for a reason, we are less likely focus so much on what other people have or are doing. Realizing and valuing our uniqueness enables us to bring out the best in ourselves so we can get on with living rather than preoccupying ourselves with meaningless comparisons. Try to not compare yourself to others, and you will see how much you have and how special you are.

The Most Bizarre Medical Conditions

Freaky Medical Conditions
Medical conditions range from minor to major but some are also in the bizarre category. So, the next time you break a limb or come down with scurvy, be thankful it's not something much more weird.
Body integrity identity disorder
Sufferers of a bizarre medical condition called "body integrity identity disorder" (BIID), who are otherwise totally sane, feel as if one of their body parts � their right foot up to the mid-calf, for example � shouldn't be there. The limb seems horrific and alien, and they can usually draw a line in the exact place where they desperately wish to have it removed.
The neuroscientist Vilayanur Ramachandran recently uncovered the cause of the condition: BIID sufferers are missing part of their body image map in their brains. Their unwanted limb is not correctly mapped onto the corresponding brain region, leaving them feeling extremely uncomfortable with it.
There is currently no cure but for the uncharted limb to be removed, and when a sympathetic surgeon agrees to amputate, BIID sufferers report feeling infinitely happier.


Congenital insensitivity to pain
Ever wish you didn't feel pain? Take it back right now! Pain is a life-saving physical response to danger, and when people are born with a rare genetic mutation that leaves them unable to feel pain, they often die early deaths as a result of treatable injuries that they simply fail to notice.
It all starts in infancy, when babies born with pain insensitivity bite off the tips of their tongues, break their bones without making a fuss, and get corneal damage after neglecting to brush foreign objects out of their eyes.



Pica
Sufferers of pica have an undeniable urge to eat non-food, often as a result of stress, mineral deficiency or pregnancy. The disease has many sub-categories, some weirder and more dangerous than others, to describe people who eat chalk, feces, glass, mucus, paint, body parts, hair, urine, wood and more.
Pictured below are 1,446 metal items, from nails to salt shaker tops, that were surgically removed from the stomach of a pica patient in Missouri. She died of blood loss during the surgery.


Mass hysteria
As the name implies, this little-understood psychological condition sets in among a group of people � typically a gaggle of young girls � who spontaneously manifest the same or similar hysterical symptoms, such as seizures, convulsions or fainting. Sufferers believe they all have the same disease or illness, but in fact they're all in good physical health.
A famous historical case resulted in the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. Dozens of people were accused of (and hanged for) causing several young girls in and around Salem, Mass., to have frequent seizures and convulsions. (The image shows Mary Walcott, 17, convulsing on the courthouse floor during one of the trials.) The girls were posthumously diagnosed with mass hysteria. Accusations of witchcraft no longer fly, but mass hysteria is alive and well.
Recently, Thera Sanchez, a high school cheerleader in upstate New York, developed strange physical and vocal tics; this led to a dozen other girls and one boy in her school developing the same Tourette's-like symptoms. Officials initially wondered if the students were being poisoned, but psychiatrists recognized the phenomenon as a modern day case of mass hysteria.


Maggot infestation
Of all the freaky medical conditions out there, one is most disgusting. A team of researchers at the Hygiene Center at the London School of Hygiene & and Tropical Medicine conducted a survey in 2010 to discover what medical conditions humans are most disgusted by. They presented 20 images of things perceived as repulsive � from festering wounds to discolored bodily fluids � to more than 80,000 individuals from around the world, and had them rate the images from least to most disgusting.
The image universally ranked as most disgusting is what you see above � the mouth of a man who suffers from a Sarcophagid fly larvae infestation. This medical condition ranks as most repulsive, said lead researcher Valerie Curtis, because "disgust is designed by evolution to keep us away from parasites that may make us sick, so people pick up on, and are most disgusted by, visual representations of a parasite invasion."


Morgellon's disease
There's a new, extremely weird disease in town. Sufferers of "Morgellon's disease," a term coined only one decade ago, feel as if there are things crawling, biting and stinging them below the surface of their skin. Their constant urge to scratch results in insomnia and terrible skin lesions
In 2012, researchers at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention issued the results of a multi-year investigation of the unexplained condition; they found that patients had no actual disease organisms under their skin, and suggested their sensations were manifestations of "delusional infestation" � a false feeling of being infected by parasites.


Parasitic twin
When a twin embryo begins developing in utero, but the pair does not fully separate and one embryo dominates the other, the weaker twin stops developing and turns into a "parasitic twin" � a non-functional, non-conscious collection of extra body parts attached to the healthy remaining twin. Sometimes, the healthy twin is born and raised packing this extra weight.
This was the case with Laloo the Hindoo, an Indian man with a parasitic twin attached to his abdomen that had two arms, two legs and a penis but no head; Laloo performed as a sideshow freak in P.T. Barnum's circus at the turn of the 19th century.
Today, whenever possible, the parasitic twin is removed. In a recent case in Peru, a three-year-old absorbed his twin into his stomach while the two were gestating in the womb. Doctors successfully removed the boy's parasitic twin Jan. 30.


Cotard delusion
Is there anything stranger than an otherwise-sane person wholeheartedly believing he or she is dead? Cotard delusion, otherwise known as walking corpse syndrome, is an extremely rare condition whereby people wake up one day and think they have died, that they no longer exist, or that their flesh is rotting off.
It's all in their head, of course, but there's a physical cause nonetheless: The brain region involved in facial recognition has become disconnected from the regions involved in emotion. When the person looks in the mirror, they recognize themselves, but they don't have the usual emotional response. Their appearance has lost its association with their sense of self, and this cognitive dissonance results in the sense that they do not exist, or have died.

MAN EXCITEMENT DISCHARGE -SPERM OR OTHER FLUID?WHAT IT TELLS?

a young boy of 18 yrs has asked me this funny but good question on my above email id that when ever he is out from home and road and a young lady with google and tight jeans pases by him or if boobs partially exposed lady or prominant buttock or fair sex activity in college or near by club or watching lover,s photo on net on news paper or condom advertisements or cheer girls semi exposed dance or horn love story reading such magazine or discussing sex among friends or chating with a fair lady or girl friend etc HE NOTICES SECRETION OF SOMETHING FROM PENIS UNDER FORE SKIN AND PENIS BECAME ERECT AND TIGHTENED AND HIS SCROTUM LIFTED UP AND SQUEEZED ,SOME TIME AFTER FEW SUCH REPEATED ERECTIONS HE FEELS PAIN IN HIS SCROTUM TOO.
what is this? why it comes out/ what it signifies ? is it sperm? he his frightened as his friend told him that such discharge is bad and he will very weak as he is loosing sperm. He also states that he tries to be away from excitement but even in normal tv serial nudity seen,loving seen,kissing seen,exposure of female face,boobs,buttock,fingers,limbs,legs and pelvis is done in this way that he cannot control himself .
He is true ,we are too much exposed to open exhibition of sexual parts and body and stories and seen so such excitement is true in any young adult as man gets easy excitementand after this his penis enlarged due to filling of its vessels with blood directed by nerve and hormonal stimulation by reading seeing or perceiving sexual activity.Such small discharge is not sperm but a fluid secreted by urethral glands,prostatic glands and seminal vesicles to lubricate Penis,glans penis,urethra and making skin movement of fore skin smooth,it tells man is excited and ready for intercourse ,it is not sperm but if excitement is too much and repeated then either he takes his hand to rub fore skin over penis and start masturbation or if he is unused to this as during sleep in dream so after repeated excitement sperm will come out as discharge called as SWAPAN DOSH IF DURING NIGHT BUT IT IS A NORMAL PHENOMENA AND DOES NOT CAUSE ANY HARM as partner or vagin not available then it wll fall on bed or bed clothes.
so nothing to fear it is normal phenomena if sperm doesnot come as stimulation is not repeated one or continuous then spem will deposit bck in epididymis a cap over testes and spermatic cord so testes will be engorged and person will feel pain in scrotum.Female do feel such discharge also after stimulation but not by simple watching scenary or reading some material but either deeply interested or watching a long sexual secene or video or physical stimulation also secretes such fluid in their vagina liberated from vaginal glans,bartholin's duct and cervical discharge explaining arousal for sex.
i both such secretion expresses as they are ready for intercourse as aroused for sex after excited by self desire or desire created by external stimuli perceived by smell,seeing or reading or thinking.
