A woman of 62 years in Aalst has been misdiagnosed after a fall from a two-meter-high ladder three times.
"On July 30 they told me that I had just suffered a severe contusion Twelve days later I went right back again on its own initiative to examine me again what appeared:.. Four ribs and my shoulder was broken," said Anne- Marie De Ridder.
"I filed a complaint with the Ombudsman of the Our Lady Hospital, but in doing so stopped it. Two weeks later found during an inspection that a fifth rib was broken. Yesterday I went back to check, and they saw that there back eight ribs are broken. "
The hospital regrets what happened and wants a consultation with the patient. "But by swelling or skin folds, it is not always clear to see if there is a fracture."
