Henan

A 20-day-old baby born in Henan, China, was suspected to have been “exposed” by a nurseExhaust FuckThe massage caused intestinal obstruction and intestinal necrosis. The baby’s parents sadly revealed that although the baby was being rescued in the intensive care unit, the doctor said that “the chance of survival is not high.” At that time, the nurse who massaged the baby was fired by the hospital afterwards, and the relevant departments are investigating whether there is any medical negligence in the hospital.

According to “Jinyang.com”, the baby was taken by his parents to Yiyang County Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital for jaundice testing on April 20. The results showed that although the jaundice value was high, the problem was not serious. However, when the nurse bathed the baby, he found that the baby was flatulent and his stomach was a little swollen. After washing, he massaged the baby for 20 minutes. The baby’s parents pointed out that the baby cried very badly during the massage, and in retrospect, it may be related to “the nurse wearing a bracelet to massage”.

The parents also questioned that after the massage, the child’s whole body turned white, there was no blood at all, and there were many “blood spots” on the forehead, but the doctor looked at it and said it was a normal phenomenon after the baby cried. Afterwards, they were charged an additional RMB 30 for the massage. The father said that he felt uneasy at the time and asked for a color ultrasound examination on the spot. Although the doctor said everything was normal after the examination, the child pulled out a “jelly blood clot” on the way home.

After the baby was admitted to the Second Children’s Hospital of Luoyang Maternity and Children’s Hospital, it was found that the baby had neonatal intestinal obstruction, acute peritonitis, volvulus combined with intestinal necrosis, congenital dysvolvulus, acute peritonitis, and neonatal anemia, and immediately issued a critical illness notice.

This made the baby’s father question that the TCM hospital did not inform the family of the real condition or that the diagnosis was wrong, leading to delays in treatment. In addition, the nurse wore a bracelet and pressed the child’s abdomen hard, and the massage fee was paid by a private account. He believed that the TCM hospital had obvious negligence. In response to this, the Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine gave RMB 30,000 to the baby’s parents as a “humane emergency” after the incident. It also stated that the massage fee would be transferred to the public account, the massage nurse had been fired, and it would cooperate with relevant units in the investigation.
