Coma After Surgery: Family Alleges Negligence at Larnaca Hospital

A shocking incident has occurred at Larnaca Hospital involving a 42-year-old patient who is now in a comatose state following a hysterectomy. According to the family's complaint, the patient was found on the floor of the toilet, semi-naked and wet, after requesting her catheter not be removed due to dizziness. The family reports inconsistencies in the information received from the hospital regarding the patient's falls, initially being informed of a fall from the bed, while the medical record states she was found in the restroom. Furthermore, the patient had sent messages requesting assistance before the falls, without receiving a response. The Cyprus Public Health Service (CPHS) has launched an investigation into the incident, and the family intends to report it to the Police.
