MEDICAL MALPRACTICE PART 1

Hello Friends,

I want to share this with you... a story about one of my batchmate in nursing school. I just receive this from my e-mail few months ago. Be aware that this might happen to you...

CYRELLE J. ESLAVA, a 26 yr. old senior nurse at Catherization Laboratory of MEDICAL CITY HOSPITAL (Ortigas Ave. Pasig City Manila, Philippines) was diagnosed of having Pituitary Adenoma (a benign slow growing tumor of the Pituitary Gland). Her doctor a neuro-surgeon of the same hospital DR. LOUIE C. RACELIS recommended that a Transsphenoidal Surgery should be done to remove the tumor or else she would suffer SUDDEN BLINDNESS! With that kind of diagnosis, any patient would rush to the idea of surgery.

And so CYRELLE agreed to have an operation for her to prevent getting blind. Since DR. RACELIS is from MEDICAL CITY (the same hospital that she works for) , she trusted him and as far as CYRELLE knows he is one of the best neuro -surgeon of the said Hospital. DR. RACELIS even assured CYERELLE and her Mother that it is an easy operation; that it will only take 45 minutes; that he does the same operation 3X a week; that CYRELLE is in her optimum age; very young and will recover fast and that in 4-5 days she will be discharged..

But that did not happen...

CYRELLE was admitted last July 22, 2007 and was operated July 24, 2007. The operation lasted 4 hours . The immeditae family members were NOT informed what was going on the operation. And why a 45 minute surgery turned into a 4 hour operation? This was left un-answered. An hour after the surgery, CYRELLE decreased her level of CONCIOUSNESS. Thus, an emergency CT SCAN was done. That's when DR. RACELIS appeared before CYRELLE's parents and told them that a PROFUSE BLEEDING had occurred during the surgery and a BLOOD TRANSFUSION was given to her.

Clearly, SOMETHING WENT WRONG! DR. RACELIS has been hiding the fact from the start. He even told CYE's parents that everything is normal and that she will recover soon.

What really transpired during the operation? Is it something that only the operating team of DR. RACELIS including the anesthesiologist and nurses knew?

CYRELLE is BRAIN DEAD NOW!

The NEURO SURGEON, RACELIS has no more "compassion". He even suggested to pull out the respirator on CYRELLE and offered that an autopsy be done. 12 hours after the surgery CYRELLE went into coma. WHY? This questions where all left unanswered.

One week after the operation there was NO spontaneous breathing, NO amount of pain can stimulate CYRELLE and her HEART still pumps only because she is young. BUT who knows when will it get tired? Only GOD knows when. Only a MIRACLE will save her...

As to DR. RACELIS isn't it your Job to save a patient's life? Isn't it that you convinced CYRELLE to undergo surgery to prevent her form getting blind? Isn't it that CYRELLE entrusted you her LIFE? WHY did you offer her family to JUST pull the plug? YOU wanted to deny your responsibilities? You wanted the easy way out? To escape the truth and to end the burden of what you did? Maybe, just maybe your conscience is bothering you, that is if you still have one. Was CYRELLE the first one? Or is she only one of those who suffered the same fate?

YOU people who knows the truth, those of you who were present at the time of the surgery, COME OUT IN THE OPEN. GOD will bless you in may ways and GOD also knows what you've been hiding! CYRELLE's FAMILY needs your prayers. Please, let us support them in this very difficult time of their lives. I ask you to please forward this Email to your Friends and Relatives until it reaches DR. RACELIS.

JUSTICE FOR CYRELLE...Justice for all the patients who sufferred in the mortal hands of an OVER-CONFIDENT surgeons like DR. LOUIE C. RACELIS.
