Fedyaeva was advised that she needed a routine laparoscopic procedure to remove the cysts, relatives said, so she underwent surgery last month at a hospital in Ulyanovsk, a city in western Russia, according to RT, a Russian government-owned television network.
During the operation, medical personnel made a tragic and irreparable mistake: Russia's state-controlled news agency, Tass, reported that instead of administering saline solution, medical personnel mistakenly gave Fedyaeva formalin, a solution that contains formaldehyde — which is used to preserve dead bodies. The medical team tried to wash Fedyaeva's abdominal cavity, according to Tass, but it was too late.

Rashid Abdullov, minister of health, family and social well-being for the Ulyanovsk region, called it “a terrible tragedy.”
...
It's still unclear exactly how it happened, but Abdullov said medical personnel neglected to read the label on the lethal chemical before administering it to Fedyaeva during the operation, according to RT.

Ulyanovsk Gov. Sergey Morozov and local authorities have opened a criminal investigation into the incident and, on the governor's orders, the head doctor at the hospital in Ulyanovsk, as well as other medical personnel involved in the operation, has been dismissed, according to local news reports. If criminally charged and convicted, the medical personnel could face time in prison, according to the reports.

So how drunk were they?
poor young woman....
Read somewhere that this is possibly one of the most horrible ways to die by chemicals.
Ulyanovsk: Lenin’s home town.
+1!
At least she was under anaesthetic. I hope.
I always wondered why they stored the two right next to each other in the same size and shape bottle. The saline has a green and white label, while the formalin has a white and green label. I accidentally embalmed my grandmother with saline one time.
The must be doing embalming in the same surgical suite as surgery.
Wow!
I’m shocked that this sad story even got out.
Yes. I wonder if the OR nurses knew.
That hospital has someone very evil on their staff who wanted her dead. Others had to agree to cooperate, by refusing to quickly rescue her. Why? we will never know for sure.
She was a very attractive woman with lots of joy. If this was murder, it may be related to her beauty. To say this was purely an accident, is in my opinion ‘un-possible’!
This is the future of healthcare in the U.S. When government is in charge of whether you live or die it becomes a matter of economics. If its cheaper to kill you than treat you then your number is up. Unless your a politician or Hollywood leftie.
Death by mudslimes.
Formaldehyde could be present in a OR where biopsies were being done. It would be used to preserve the specimens for pathology. How you would mix it up with saline I have no idea. There should be a lot of saline and very little formaldehyde in reach....
Ulyanovsk?
Here is a photo of the city's namesake, Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, who has experienced embalmment since 1924:
