In a shocking news which could make every patient hesitant to undergo any surgery, kidney of a woman was found missing after she underwent a surgery for removing stone (calculus) at the Jawaharlal Nehru Institute of Medical Sciences (JNIMS), Porompat, Imphal.
The matter came to light when a JAC against the wrongful operation of Achoubi told a group of media persons in a press meet held at Manipur Press Club, Majorkhul Imphal today.
Secretary of the JAC, Haji Arafat Ali told reporters that the victim Achoubi (52) wife of late Atarali of Minuthong Hatta went to the hospitals on October 3 after she developed pain in her back and checked herself in the OPD where she was attended by Dr Prafullo.
The doctor told her to conduct an ultrasound test to confirm the reason of her pain and she accordingly took the test on the next day at the Aadarsh Laboratoty clinic.
After seeing the USG result on October 5, the doctor told her that she had developed some stones (calculus) in her kidney and a surgery is needed to remove the stone.
Thereafter the doctor referred her to the Surgery Ward of the hospitals.
After she went to the ward, Professor K Mani and Dr Robindro told her to get admitted the same day itself which she did.
After spending some days in the ward, her surgery was conducted on October 11 by Prof K Mani and Dr Robindro which took about four hours.
After the surgery, the doctors told the patient party that they could not find both the stone and kidney in Achoubi's body.
When the patient party enquired about the matter, the doctors told them several possibilities and asked them to keep quiet and offered them to return the amount spend for the surgery.
However after a week, hospital authorities refused to give back the said amount and told them that the doctors were not found guilty in the process of the surgery.
Later on November 5, they were discharged and forced to leave the hospital.
Arafat Ali further told reporters that the surgery was the first ever surgery being conducted on Achoubi in her entire life.
It is a clear matter of negligence and cheating the innocent people by the doctors, he alleged.
He appealed to the concern authority to find the truth and punish the culprits.
A memorandum regarding the incident and their demand was also submitted today to the Chief Minister, Governor of Manipur, DGP by the JAC.

Painful season with Cubs, ChiSox both under .500
Ozzie Guillen's kidney stone just might be the perfect metaphor for this baseball season in Chicago.
The White Sox and Cubs are set to open a three-game series at U.S. Cellular Field on Monday, and it's safe to say this has been an unpleasant year for both teams.
Guillen's kidney stone on Sunday in Arizona was just another painful moment in a season that has left fans on both sides of town wincing.
Claiming they were "All In" after signing slugger Adam Dunn and re-signing Paul Konerko, the White Sox still rank among the AL's biggest disappointments at 35-38. They can blame that on an 11-22 start, but at least they're back in contention in the Central division.
The Cubs (29-41) still have a long way to go, even if they've shown some promise of late.
It's never dull when these crosstown rivals get together.

Cancer patient puts trust in God, alternative medicine
Bryan Harper, 48, of Florence, keeps a quote by former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt on the wall by his desk at Midway Motors in Hillsboro.
“We do not have to become heroes overnight,” Roosevelt said. “Just a step at a time, meeting each thing as it comes up, seeing it is not as dreadful as it appeared, discovering we have the strength to stare it down.”
Harper said that is his approach to cancer.
In mid-February he said he was feeling fine, but one day there was blood in his urine. He thought that perhaps he had passed a kidney stone, but thought it was odd that he hadn’t had any pain. After he drank a glass of water, the problem cleared up.
His urine was bloody again the next day. When he passed a blood clot, he decided it was time to see a doctor. The doctor couldn’t find anything wrong with him, but scheduled an appointment with a kidney specialist three days later.
The next day Harper’s stomach started hurting, and he went to the emergency room when it became too severe. That’s when he got the news. A scan showed two softball-sized masses on his left kidney.
“I couldn’t believe I had kidney cancer,” he said. “I never hurt a day before.”
Doctors removed the affected kidney a couple of days later. He felt fine recovering from the surgery.
“I’m just glad it wasn’t in both of them (kidneys),” Harper said. “It’s one of those things, you can live with one.”
However, about a week later a full-body scan showed the cancer had spread to both of his lungs.
“It’s pretty devastating news,” he said.
His doctor told him modern medicine has no cure for the kind of cancer he has. Radiation and chemotherapy can slow the progression of the cancer, but can’t stop it. Harper said he was grateful the doctor was straightforward with him. Since the news, he has continued to work at the car dealership.
“I’m not going to do chemo and radiation,” Harper said. “It won’t cure it.”
He said he had seen his father wither away while undergoing treatment for incurable cancer, and he didn’t want to follow that path.
“It’d be pretty easy to curl up in a corner, but that’s not me,” Harper said.
Instead, he is following a regimen of spiritual healing and herbal remedies. The healer he is working with has had success with other cancer patients, using diet and herbs intended to strengthen the immune system in conjunction with prayer. The diet he is on precludes pork, wheat and flour products, soda, and refined sugars.
“Cancer survives 100 percent on sugar,” he said.
Meanwhile Harper has been eating more fruits and vegetables. He said sticking to the diet is tough but possible.
“You can do it,” he said. “It’s doable, but I have to bring lunch.”
Harper trusts that with faith and determination, he can defeat the cancer.
“The Lord has given me a temple,” he said, referring to his body.
Harper said that there isn’t anything he could have done differently, except possibly getting expensive full-body scans on a regular basis. He doesn’t smoke, tries to eat healthy, is active, and has had regular physicals.
He said he plans to face the problem head-on.
“I’ve always believed you look fear in the eye,” Harper said. “Fear can be conquered.
“I know a lot of people think I have a death sentence,” he said. “It’s not a death sentence; it’s a reality check.”
Nobody lives forever, he said. He would prefer to live to see old age rather than succumb to cancer now, and he is doing what he can to fight it. But he isn’t afraid of death.
“I have no regrets so far in life,” Harper said. “It’s been good.”
