The knowledge of medicine has impacted on the human race more than any other discipline in science, it would be an understatement to say this aspect of human knowledge is divine.
The increase in knowledge and technology has help saved many unseemingly impossible situations. In the past breech fetal presentation would be passed for a spiritual affliction, wherefore the patient will be managed until she passed or a miracle happens and she delivers. But with the successes of invasion surgery many lives have been saved and human life couldn't have been any better.
As with the blessings so comes the curses. There has been an increasing reports of stolen organs during surgery which is rampant in some countries in the middle East and Asia (names withheld). The latest of this report is stolen kidneys during a ceasarean section (CS). A woman was reported to have had CS four years ago, after which she has complained of persistent abdominal pain, unfortunately it was discovered that her kidney had been stolen more likely during CS four years ago.
It's our intention that patients be aware of the situation and be alert especially when you see incision mark which is not consistent with the procedure you were took in for, while we task practitioners to do the right thing.
