Surgeon claims Bath’s RUH ‘covered up’ patient blinding

A prominent surgeon has come forward with shocking allegations against Bath’s Royal United Hospital (RUH), claiming that they covered up a case of patient blinding during a routine surgical procedure.

The surgeon, who wishes to remain anonymous, alleges that a patient underwent a routine eye surgery at the RUH, but due to negligence on the part of the medical staff, the patient was left permanently blind in one eye.

According to the surgeon, the hospital administration pressured him and other staff members to keep quiet about the incident and not report it to the proper authorities. He claims that they attempted to sweep the incident under the rug to avoid any negative publicity or legal repercussions.

The whistleblower has since decided to speak out, despite potential backlash from the hospital and medical community. He believes that it is important for the public to be aware of what happened and for the hospital to be held accountable for their actions.

The RUH has denied the allegations, stating that they take patient safety very seriously and adhere to strict protocols and procedures to ensure the well-being of all patients. They have launched an internal investigation into the matter and are cooperating with the appropriate regulatory bodies.
