A massive medical scandal has broken out at Tuen Mun Hospital, after it was revealed that a machine that analyses liver enzymes has misread the results of up to 4,000 patients, reports Ming Pao.
The machine, which was purchased two years ago by the hospital’s Department of Pathology, is used to assess liver function and bone conditions of patients. However the machine’s reference range was calibrated for the elderly, affecting test results of thousands of patients.
A press conference is currently being held with Que Tak-lun, director of the Department of Pathology at Tuen Mun Hospital, and Ko Pat-sing, Cluster Chief Executive of the Hospital Authority’s New Territoris West Cluster.
