A doctor stormed out of an operating theatre halfway through surgery, angry that his colleagues had not made him a cup of tea.<\/p>\n
Tejrang Bhalavi was carrying out family planning surgery on eight women at a health centre in Nagpur, central India, on November 3.<\/p>\n
Halfway through the operations, and having anaesthetised four of the women, he asked colleagues to make him a cup of tea.<\/p>\n
But when staff came back empty-handed, he suddenly left the theatre without completing the surgeries.<\/p>\n
When the hospital administration told the district medical officer about the incident, a replacement was sent to finish off the surgeries on the four remaining women.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The district administration has since ordered an inquiry into what happened, NDTV reported.<\/p>\n
The outlet quoted the district council’s CEO Soumya Sharma in saying a three-member committee would investigate the case.<\/p>\n
She said she understood Dr Bhalavi had ‘left the operation due to not receiving tea’.<\/p>\n
‘If doctors are willing to abandon such critical procedures over a mere cup of tea, they should be held accountable under section 304 of the Indian Penal Code.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
The section refers to causing death by negligence, not amounting to murder.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Appropriate action’ will be taken against Dr\u00a0Bhalavi based on the findings.<\/p>\n
In the United States, a cancer patient is now suing his hospital and surgeons after they allegedly removed the wrong organ during a botched appendix operation.<\/p>\n
George Piano, 72, went to have his appendix removed at the University of Washington Medical Centre in December 2022.<\/p>\n
When the pain persisted, subsequent scans showed doctors had removed part of his large intestine instead of his appendix, he claims.<\/p>\n

When staff failed to bring the surgeon a cup of tea, he suddenly left the theatre without completing the surgeries, reports say<\/p>\n
In 2013, a man sued a surgeon\u00a0after an operation reportedly left him with an erection that lasted for eight months and a scrotum the size of a volleyball following penile implant surgery.<\/p>\n
Daniel Metzgar, 44, had the surgical procedure in 2009. In June 2013, a medical malpractice lawsuit heard claims that the surgery had been botched.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The truck driver had a three-piece inflatable penile implant fitted by surgeon Dr. Thomas J. Desperito.<\/p>\n
Attorneys for the doctor suggested the truck driver should have realised something was wrong when his scrotum swelled to the size of a volleyball after the December surgery.\u00a0<\/p>\n
