According to reports, the incident occurred last Tuesday night (3/5) when the nurse allegedly confused the two women who were in the ward at the time and needed the transfusion.

The nurse gave the wrong blood type to the 62-year-old woman, resulting in the patient suffering multiple strokes and being treated with severe injuries while being intubated in the ICU in stable but critical condition. Doctors have already proceeded with surgery for the hematoma that developed on the woman’s head.

The 62-year-old woman’s companions have filed a complaint, and the nurse is wanted for arrest.
