Cancer survivor found she was breaking wind through her vagina after surgeons wrongly connected it to her colon
19 September 2016
Jasminka Velkovska, pictured, was undergoing cancer treatment at the hospital in the Macedonian capital Skopje 3 years ago. She planning to sue a hospital after its surgeons wrongly connected her colon to her vagina. The hospital had agreed to pay Velkovska £25,700 in compensation following the badly botched surgery. However, the hospital has refused to pay the entire total, forcing Velkovska to appear on national television where she explained her embarrassing condition.
The hospital operated on Velkovska to remove a carcinoma from her colon. Unfortunately, the surgeons missed the bad cells and reattached the colon to the wrong part of her anatomy. Staff at the September 8th Hospital took her for an X-ray scan, which showed that her colon and her vagina were indeed tied together - and worse, her carcinoma was still there.
Her lawyers and hospital management then reached an agreement outside of court, whereby she would be handed a sum of £25,700 in compensation for her ordeal. But Velkovska said the money has still not been paid in full and that there are still £8,600 that have not been paid. Hospital Manager Sasho Stojcev claimed that the hospital cannot pay the damage without a court order, adding that the compensation was only partly covered by their insurance company.
The remaining £8,600 Stojcev says, does not have to be paid off by the hospital. This is reportedly because the compensation was not fully covered by the insurance company and the document allegedly does not state who exactly should pay it.
