A woman sought help at a health center in Trollhättan due to abdominal pain. Now the help the woman received has been criticized. There were several referrals that were not sent and administrative issues delayed processing, which Siren also reported on.
Woman sought help for abdominal pain – had cancer
The woman then sought urgent care three months later and it was then established that the woman had cancer that could not be cured. The woman later died.
Now two doctors at a health center in Trollhättan have been criticized by the Inspectorate for Care and Care (Ivo) for a lack of investigation.

The care center’s routines are criticised
The health center and its routines also receive Ivo’s criticism. Among other things, journal entries were printed with a one-month delay.
On two occasions, one of the doctors decided on, in and of itself justified, referrals which, however, never seem to have come to fruition. Follow-up of the referrals also failed.
The first planned referral concerned the X-ray of the abdomen. One such would likely have shown the cancer in the pancreas that was later discovered.
