Medical
English term or phrase: overseen
Domain: clinical assay
Context:" The patient complained of pain, and it was found that the
suction drain had sucked 14 holes in the bowels, the holes were overseen, but
the patient died of the after affects of faecal peritonitis."

Just can't find the meaning right here.
Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance

Merci, j'opte pour "traiter" plutôt que pour "surveiller" qui me semble étrange ici.

surveillés


Explanation:
to oversee = contrôler, surveiller, vérifier...

d'où la suite de la phrase : "but the patient..."

Explanation:
"Overseen", ici, est mal utilisé, ou est utilisé pour cacher de la négligence.

Possiblement, l'auteur utilisé "oversee" dans le sens de "overseer", c'est-à-dire une personne qui évalue et gère quelquechose (une ferme, un projet de construction, etc.).

Possiblement, l'auteur utilise "overseen" pour éviter de dire: "on a constaté les trous et avions attendu pour voir s'il y aurait des développements". Ça me surprendrait: un colon percé est assez sérieux, justement à cause de la péritonite. Je note, par contre, qu'aucune mention n'est faite de chirurgie exploratoir pour chasser toute trace de matière fécale. Si c'est la cas, les trous auraient été réparés (sans rien de plus).

agree  RHELLER: interesting discussion: if they did such a great job of "overseeing", why did the patient die?

agree  Catherine GUILLIAUMET: je suis d'accord avec cette interprétation. Pourquoi il est mort? Parce qu'ils ont trop "attendu de voir" comme on dit en lang. familier, en d'autres termes : ils sont passés à côté,et il y a des preuves de leur négligence
