€10,000 for patient given anaesthetic before Mater Private surgery staff realised vital piece of equipment missing
A judge has accepted that the Mater Private hospital displayed medical negligence after a man put under anaesthetic for an operation never had his procedure carried out due to the disappearance of a critical piece of medical equipment.
Judge John O’ Connor, sitting in the Circuit Civil court today, heard that Peter Keegan (31) of Woodbine Park, Raheny, Dublin 5, had been due to undergo an operation on his right hip on November 25, 2016, in the Mater Private Hospital, Eccles St, Dublin 7.
