    "content": "provide medical care using standard medical methods? That is what you should respond to. To do this, dear colleagues, to my professional mind, we must stick against six boxes. The first box is, was there misdiagnosis? Was Dr. Ondigo unable to establish the medical problem of the little girl? In this case, from this Report, no. Dr. Ondigo made the proper diagnosis of a foreign object in the pulmonary system. So, you cannot indict him on that score. The second one is, was there failure to treat? In this report, I have read it carefully, there was a lot of time spent on attempting to treat this patient so as to prevent this unfortunate outcome. Treatment is not defined as having been done only when the patient has recovered. Even where a patient dies, treatment may have been given. Again, you cannot indict Dr. Ondigo. The third question is, was there surgical or anesthetic error? Here, you cannot tick it off because we do not know what happened in theatre, whether it is the doctor who got it wrong or the anesthetist who did not give the proper anaesthesia. The fourth question which we must ask, was the surgery that was given necessary or it was unnecessary? As a medical expert, I can confirm that based on the diagnosis, the surgery which was given in this case was the correct one. So, you cannot indict Dr. Ondigo on this particular score. The fifth question we must answer is, were there medical errors? On this one, both the hospital and Dr. Ondigo cannot run away. From what we have heard, it looks as if either during theatre, immediately after or the long-term post-operative care, there must have been errors. Here, it is difficult to vouch for the innocence of Dr. Ondigo. The last one is the timing of the surgery. In this case, was surgery delayed? From the reports I am reading here, it is not too clear the timings of both bronchoscopy and thoracotomy. Let me spend some time on this one. Sen. Hamida, this big word in English, bronchoscopy, is a simple procedure where using a medical equipment called a bronchoscope, you approach the pulmonary system of the patient, shine the light inside, and view whether you can pick any foreign object---"
