A Sunshine Coast doctor has been reprimanded for leaving a 9.2cm catheter tube and 47cm optical fibre cable inside a patient during a varicose vein procedure.
Hugo Pin, medical director of Sunshine Vein Clinic at Peregian Beach, was reprimanded for professional misconduct and unsatisfactory professional performance in a recently released finding from the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal.
The tribunal was told that Dr Pin, 58, knew a segment of the catheter was retained in the female patient’s leg during the procedure but did not tell her.
