Doctor’s bloody attempts to insert catheter didn’t cause erectile dysfunction, court finds
While the incident was traumatic, it did not cause long-term damage to the patient's urethra, the Supreme Court of Victoria has ruled
A doctor’s repeated and bloody attempts to insert a catheter did not cause a patient’s erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence, a court has ruled.
The patient launched medical negligence proceedings against Sale Hospital, in Victoria’s south-east, following a trip to the ED that he alleged ruined his previously “active” sex life.
