The lawsuit was filed for severe health consequences due to medical negligence.

KUWAIT CITY, Jan 22: In a distressing case of medical negligence, a citizen has suffered significant health consequences, including substantial sight loss and infertility, due to incorrect medical diagnoses. Lawyer Mustafa Mulla Youssef has filed a lawsuit seeking compensation and accountability for the grave errors that led to his client's infertility, who had been mistakenly diagnosed with diabetes for 12 years.

The lawsuit, spearheaded by Lawyer Mustafa Mulla Youssef, outlines the harrowing experience of his unmarried, young client. Twelve years ago, the individual visited a hospital for a routine health check, only to be diagnosed with diabetes. Following the doctor's recommendations, he diligently took medications for over a decade.

However, the shocking revelation occurred recently when the client sought a second opinion from another doctor in the same hospital. Contrary to the initial diagnosis, it was discovered that he did not have diabetes. Tragically, the consequences of the prolonged medication use unfolded—rendering him infertile and causing significant deterioration in his eyesight, which he had enjoyed without impairment even into his twenties.

Lawyer Mustafa Mulla Youssef emphasized the gravity of misdiagnosis, asserting that people's health is not a subject for experimentation. He underscored the profound impact of such errors, citing the devastating effects on his client's lifelong dreams of starting a family.

The legal action aims to secure compensation for the affected individual and hold accountable those responsible for the incorrect medical diagnosis and subsequent life-altering consequences. The case serves as a stark reminder of the critical importance of accurate and responsible medical practices in safeguarding individuals' well-being.
