Patient suing hospital over infection contracted during operation

A patient who contracted a bacterial infection during a routine operation is suing Prague's Motol hospital, Mlada fronta Dnes reported. The woman says she suffered complications for two years after the operation and is suing the hospital for CZK 400,000 (over half a million USD). However, officials at Motol deny any responsibility in the matter. The lawsuit is evidently the first such legal action in the Czech Republic, said Mlada fronta.
