“I will go to the end”: a patient whose anesthesiologist left the theater for a “lunch break” does not give up

Nellie Kinowski, a 78-year-old retiree, continues to fight. She wants the Toulouse hospital anesthesiologist whom she accuses of postponing an operation under the pretext of a “lunch break” to be sanctioned. She wrote a letter to the director of the University Hospital of Toulouse.

Nelly Kinowski, a 78-year-old pensioner, wants to condemn the Rangel hospital and especially the anesthesiologist who had to euthanize her before the surgical procedure, reports La Depeche du Midi.

“What this woman did was crazy. Since there was a delay, she decided not to give me anesthesia because it was lunch break.”– she admitted to our colleagues in an article dated April 23, 2024.

“Nothing abnormal” for management

For the hospital management, the anesthesiologist did not admit any guilt: “Delays and various dangers may occur and this is not abnormal. The anesthetist decided not to start anesthesia at this late stage because the procedure was expected to last more than 10 minutes. And this is in a context where there was no loss of opportunity for This is a way of doing things that is part of modern practice.”

“A Matter of Honor”

The patient is determined not to give up. “For me it is a matter of honor: I will go to the end. If I win the trial, I will donate all the damages to the association.”– Nellie Kinowski said La Depeche du Midi.

On April 20, she sent a registered letter to the director of the university hospital of Toulouse, on which the Rangel hospital depends, and to the chairman of the institution’s medical commission for “demand compensation”.
