HONG KONG: A 75-year-old Hong Kong resident with swallowing difficulty choked and then died after he was fed with the wrong food by a student nurse at Caritas Medical Centre, in a blunder which the hospital said was caused by misinterpretation of dietary advice by the healthcare team.
The hospital in Sham Shui Po on Wednesday (March 5) made a public apology, and said a root cause analysis panel would be formed to look into details of the case and measures preventing similar incidents in the future.
