"In December 2018, my son, who was only more than 5 months old, was treated at Xingyuan Hospital in Yulin City, Shaanxi Province because of continuous discharge from the corner of his eye, during which he left the needle catheter in his body due to 'improper operation by the nurse'. In the blink of an eye, my son is almost 6 years old, and the needle catheter that has been "hidden" in B-ultrasound, CT and other examinations for several years has reappeared, and has moved from the head to the neck. However, due to the critical location, the doctor said that the current surgical removal of foreign bodies is more damaging, and it is recommended to observe and follow up closely. ”
Recently, Mr. Bai from Yulin, Shaanxi Province, asked a number of media for help, hoping that a skilled hospital could remove the foreign body from his son's body.

The first surgery was suspected to be due to blood flow and could not be found to be removed
On April 24, Mr. Bai told reporters that in December 2018, because his son had intermittent discharge from the corners of his eyes a few months after he was born, he took him to the ophthalmology department of Xingyuan Hospital for examination, and underwent nasolacrimal duct exploration surgery under the advice of the doctor. During this period, the nurse came to change the child's indwelling needle, and after removing the needle, she found that the needle catheter was broken and missing, and she searched the ward to no avail.
According to the hospital course records provided by Mr. Bai to reporters, on December 28, after no needles were found in the defect, "an urgent examination of the superficial tissues of the head (of the child) reported that a thin tubular hyperecho appeared to be visible under the skin of the left temporal region." This means that the needle catheter may remain in the blood vessels in the head.

The family said that they had been taking money from the hospital in the form of IOUs, and the hospital responded: The matter is very complicated
The attitude of the hospital involved, Mr. Bai said that he admitted that it was medical malpractice. Mr. Bai said that every time he went to negotiate with the hospital, he took the money from the hospital by issuing an IOU, and that the more time the time passed, it became more difficult to communicate with the hospital.
According to media reports in 2019, the vice president surnamed Zhang of Xingyuan Hospital said in an interview at that time, "The matter is indeed true, and we gave 50,000 yuan in medical expenses to let the child be treated first." The matter has not been properly handled because the family is unwilling to go through judicial means. He also said that after being dealt with by the Medical Commission or going through the judicial process, the hospital will definitely bear the amount of compensation awarded by the court. According to a report by Poster News on April 23, the staff of Xingyuan Hospital replied that it was not convenient to communicate by phone for the time being. "This is a complicated matter, and we have been communicating with the family for so many years. ”
On the afternoon of April 24, the reporter called the Medical Dispute Office of Xingyuan Hospital about this matter, but it was not connected as of press time. The reporter also called the contact information of the hospital's president surnamed Wang and vice president surnamed Wang provided by Mr. Bai. The vice president surnamed Wang was asked about this after being connected, and he said that he made a mistake and hung up the phone. The phone number of the dean, surnamed Wang, has not been reached.
As for whether to consider going through the judicial process, Mr. Bai said that the foreign body has not been taken out at present, and a series of follow-up problems cannot be solved, and he hopes that the hospital involved can take responsibility.
