Patient's Severed Toe Found in Seoul Nursing Hospital Fridge Raises Concerns About Medical Waste Management The recent discovery of a patient's severed toe stored in a nursing hospital's kitchen fridge in Seoul has sent shockwaves through South Korea's healthcare community.
A 60 year old man with an intellectual disability had his toe detached after a fall, but hospital staff failed to inform his family about the injury or its consequences.
Instead, they chose to store the toe alongside drinks and condiments in the fridge for over two weeks.
