Man's appendix ruptures a month after it was 'removed' in hospital

(Telegraph 25/08/2009)

Mark Wattson, from Swindon, Wilts, had two appendectomies in a month after doctors failed to remove the appendix at the first attempt. He claims that he lost his job because his employers did not believe that he needed to have the operation twice. Mr Wattson, 35, had his first appendectomy on Tuesday, July 7, after being told that his appendix was the cause of abdominal pain he had suffered for several months. He said that doctors informed him that the procedure had gone well.
