A former nurse is suing the hospital she worked at after witnessing a patient's face catching fire during an operation, according to Australian media
A former nurse is suing the hospital she worked at after witnessing a patient's face catching fire during an operation, according to Australian media., when a procedure to remove a section of a patient's artery went horribly wrong.
The fire broke out during the bilateral temporal arterial biopsy in March 2020 after a leak from the patient's oxygen mask gathered under their hospital gown, according to news.com.au. The patient was left with burns to"various parts of their body" according to a report, published by injury compensation advisory service WorkSafe and obtained by Australian media.
As a result of witnessing the incident, Ms Espinola said she has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and experiences panic attacks three to four times a week, meaning she cannot return to work. "I just heard 'fire, fire'... I couldn't see any but then he tapped the patient's face and I saw fire," Ms Espinola said, when recalling the accident to the news outlet.
