The Rennes University Hospital evokes "a medical accident".
A 19-year-old young woman has been in "a severe hypoglycemic coma" since May 16.
As reported by
France Bleu Cotentin
, she had been operated on five days earlier for an ovarian cyst.
After the operation, the young woman, from La Manche, complained of stomach pain.
The doctors then noticed that she was bleeding, requiring her to be operated again on the spot.
During this surgery, an insulin injection error would have occurred.
According to the mother of the young woman interviewed by the radio, her daughter would have received a dose ten times higher than normal.
“The anesthesiologist made a computer error, he typed on the keyboard and it made two zeros instead of one,” she says.
They told me that a diabetic who wanted to kill himself injects that dose.
