Mrs Hansa Patel underwent Liposuction surgery on both thighs at Sterling Hospital in Ahmedabad, Gujurat, approximately 4 months ago
Eight days after the surgery, she started getting low grade fever with light discharge on the sight of surgery
She was taken to a local hospital in Dubai with this complaint She was recommended oral antibiotics and a wound culture by a local physician with consultation and recommendation of the operating surgeon (Dr Shailesh Patel, Sterling Hospital)
Post this, her health continued to deteriorate till she was transferred to Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai, where she was diagnosed with an ATYPICAL MYCOBACTERIAL infection In the following weeks, doctors at the hospital constantly tried to cure the infection with various antibiotics, but were not successful
Mrs Hansa Patel, passed away on May 1st, 2005
It has come to our knowledge, based on diagnoses and consultations with several doctors who attempted to treat Mrs Patel, that the main cause of her untimely demise was due to negligence on part of Sterling Hospital, where she had her liposuction surgery The hospital was not maintaining a sterile environment; and the infection was caused by use of non-sterile medical equipment The doctor conducting the liposuction surgery also had not educated the patient on pre and post-operation care or even effectively recommended a proper a post-operation institute, prior to flying out to his regular practice in the UK
We also know of other individuals that are fighting similar infections and symptoms, which are a result of undergoing liposuction surgery by Dr Shailesh Patel at Sterling Hospital
We would request anyone who has been treated at Sterling Hospital and by Dr SHAILESH PATEL to be highly careful in dealing with them We also request you to post your complaints to our email address We have lost a very dear friend, but would like to help others in similar situations and request them to get in touch with us so we may be able to provide them with the correct information to assist them We would not want another person treated by Dr Shailesh Patel or Sterling Hospital to go through the same loss as us
ON THE BEHALF OF MRS HANSA PATEL FAMILY AND FRIENDS
