A woman from Philadelphia said she was accidentally injected with a flesh-burning acid instead of saline into her womb during a routine medical procedure compelling her to wonder if she’ll ever have children, reported the New York Times.

The woman has been identified as Christine, a 33-year-old, who was reportedly getting her fallopian tubes checked for blockages at Main Line Fertility in Pennsylvania on Dec. 19, 2022, the report said.

The woman said her doctor, Allison Bloom, was actually about to inject her with saline, but somehow the substance turned out to be trichloroacetic acid, reported the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Christine is a Montessori preschool teacher by profession and talking about her experience with the injection, she said she felt an immediate surge of pain.

“I kept saying, ’Something is off. Something is wrong. Is it supposed to burn?’” she told the Inquirer.

“No, it’s just saline,” Bloom replied as she continued the 15-minute procedure, known as a saline infusion sonogram.

Following the injection, soon Christine started to notice red welts on her inner thighs and legs,

Christine was then later diagnosed with first- and second-degree internal and external chemical burns.

According to Christine, at first she thought she was having an allergic reaction but later she was told by a paramedic that it was not a saline solution but acid.

“Oh, honey, they didn’t put saline solution through you, that was acid” she stated.

Apart from being scared emotionally, Christine also got scarred in her reproductive organs.

In regards to this, she stated that her dream of having children with her husband, Jason, may be over.

“There’s not a day that goes by that you’re not reminded, ‘Oh, yeah, this happened to me,’” she said.

“It doesn’t stop, and I feel like they just put it behind them, that it was just a blip in their day, ‘Oops, a mistake was made. Carry on. Forget it ever happened.'”

Christine along with her husband then filed a lawsuit against Main Line Fertility in March, accusing the clinic of negligence, recklessness and failure to follow best practices.

The report further stated that they are seeking monetary damages from the clinic, claiming its representatives never apologized or explained why the error took place.

The Post reached out to Main Line Fertility for comment.
