A young man will be compensated after having a testicle removed due to a medical error in Coronel Freitas, Santa Catarina. The case, which took place in 2009, was judged by the magistrate Claudio Rego Pantoja, of the Single Court of the district of the municipality. The patient will receive R $ 70,000 from the hospital and the doctor responsible for the treatment.
The case occurred when the patient was 13 years old and had testicular torsion, which is easy to treat with early diagnosis. The teenager went to Coronel Freitas Municipal Hospital with severe pain and vomiting, but the sprain was neither treated nor diagnosed. After the service, he received his medicine and was ordered to go home.
After the pain continued, the young man went to a health center and a second doctor found the sprain. However, after 48 hours it was not possible to preserve the organ. He was transferred to a hospital in Chapecó / SC, where he underwent a testicle removal surgery.
