Tokyo Medical and Dental University Hospital : Press Conference June 2, 2000
Doctors at a Tokyo hospital apologized Friday for leaving a
patient in a coma after administering 10 times the required amount of
tranquilizer last month.
Speaking at a news conference, doctors at the Tokyo Medical and
Dental University Hospital identified the patient only as being
between 20 and 30 years old, in deference to the family's wishes.
Police said they have launched an investigation suspecting
professional negligence.
According to the doctors, the patient was transferred to the
hospital's general ward from its intensive care unit on May 12 after
undergoing neck surgery on May 9.
