Dr Balwant Singh’s Hospital Inc on Thursday refuted allegations made by a patient, Wonder Kellman-Hall in a lawsuit brought against the facility.
In a press release, the hospital noted that Kellman-Hall has taken the matter to court and the hospital is actively defending the case and its officers, against the allegations.
Nevertheless, it said that it vehemently denies all of the accusations made by Kellman-Hall in the case.
The hospital said that its records show that Kellman-Hall has been a patient of Dr. Madhu Singh, Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, and Chief Executive Officer, since May 2014. She was diagnosed with a condition in 2021 and surgery was recommended as the best course of action. The release said that the procedure was conducted on June 9, 2021 and Kellman-Hall made a complaint about the procedure in August 23, 2022 “It is important to note that Ms. Kellman-Hall was fully informed of the risks and benefits of the
recommended procedure, and she gave her consent. Ms. Kellman-Hall’s consent was voluntary
and informed, and at no time did the hospital or its employees breach any duty of care owed to
her.
“During the surgery, however, there was uncontrollable bleeding from one organ posing a risk to
her life. As a result, it was necessary to remove the organ. It should be noted that the procedure
is a routine one and the organ removal poses no long-term effects to her ability to continue her
normal life”, the release said.
It added that post-surgery, Dr. Singh informed Kellman-Hall of the circumstances and explained
that, despite the action that was required during surgery, the overall goals of the procedure were
met, and that her post-surgery expectations have not changed.
The post-surgery action required that everything that was removed during surgery be sent to the
Georgetown Public Hospital for testing. The histopathology report from the Georgetown Public
Hospital confirms the position of the Dr. Balwant Singh’s Hospital, the release added.
