The five-and-a-half-year-old child was only a baby in the hospital and suffered from a 1.7-centimeter-long needle swimming in the blood vessels for up to five years due to improper handling by the nurse.
At the time of the incident, the hospital involved wanted to arrange for the small patient to remove the foreign body immediately, but the needle had already traveled to the neck vein and had no choice but to give up.
It's like a ticking time bomb that could endanger a child's life at any moment!
What is the reason why the metal needles can be broken, so that the baby has been offended for 5 years?
Xiaobai's father said: "At the end of December 2018, Xiaobai (pseudonym), who was only more than five months old, underwent nasolacrimal duct exploration surgery at Xingyuan Hospital due to some diseases, but after returning home, he was infected with a high fever.
Subsequently, Xiaobai's father immediately sent the child to Xingyuan Hospital for treatment. Because the situation is more urgent and Xiaobai is too young, he can only be treated with indwelling needle infusion. ”
Fortunately, with timely treatment, the child was not left with any health risks.
originally thought that Xiaobai could return to a normal life, but the bad news came.
According to the treatment records provided by Xiaobai's father:
At around 1:30 p.m. on December 28, 2018, Xiaobai was receiving an infusion. At that time, Xiaobai was only five months old, too young, and was in a lively and active period, so he could only take an indwelling needle for intravenous infusion.
But when the infusion was over, when the nurse went to remove the needle from Xiaobai, she found that the tip of the needle of the indwelling needle was damaged.
However, after repeated careful examinations of Xiaobai's head and in the ward, the nurse found no trace of a broken needle.
The nurse immediately reported to the hospital, after all, if the retention needle is stored in the baby's body, this is not a joke, and Xiaobai's life may be in danger at any time.
After that, Xiaobai immediately did a vascular needle examination in the hospital.
The ultrasound results showed "suspected visible tubular hyperechogenicity".
Subsequently, Xingyuan Hospital held a diagnosis and treatment symposium, and it was unanimously judged that the broken needle was indeed in the small white blood vessel.
After reaching a conclusion, the hospital involved immediately dispatched an ambulance to send Xiaobai to a famous hospital in Linshi for treatment.
After arriving at the hospital, Xiaobai did a color ultrasound examination again, and the report showed that Xiaobai did have needles in his body. After obtaining the consent of the family, the hospital immediately arranged a vascular needle resection for Xiaobai.
Unfortunately, the doctor could not find the trace of the needle in the small white blood vessels during the operation, so he had no choice but to end the operation.
After the operation, the experts came to the conclusion that the needle may have been in Xiaobai's body for too long, and it has been swimming in the body with the blood, and there is no way to remove it now.
It was heart-wrenching that a five-month-old baby had already suffered so much!
After that, Xiaobai's father took Xiaobai to major hospitals for examination.
However, no trace of the needle was found in the B ultrasound, and there was no choice but to let the needle continue to stay in the body.
This is like a sword hanging over his head, which may kill Xiaobai at any time.
However, the fault hospital also admitted that it was medical malpractice and was willing to lend money to Xiaobai's father first. Support Xiaobai's father to continue to seek medical treatment.
After five years of Xiaobai's growth, Xiaobai's father would take Xiaobai for a physical examination whenever he had time to prevent it from happening.
After all these years, things have finally taken a turn for the better.
Last year, when Xiaobai was in the Capital Children's Hospital for a physical examination, the needles wandering in Xiaobai's body suddenly appeared again.
What's even more terrifying is that the sharp needle has already traveled from the scalp to the lower jaw and neck along the blood vessels. If the needle cuts the aorta, the result is unimaginable.
Immediately, Xiaobai's father wanted to operate on Xiaobai again and wanted to take out the needle, after all, the needle stayed in the blood vessel for one more second, and it was dangerous for one more second.
However, after discussion, experts said that the risk of surgery is too great, the needle has already swam into the vein, and it is rashly taken out, and Xiaobai has the risk of facial paralysis at least and life-threatening at worst.
Another year has passed, and in 2024, Xiaobai's B-ultrasound shows that the needle is still stuck in the neck.
Xiaobai's father was really afraid that the needles would travel with the blood to the heart and other vital organs.
So Xiaobai's father asked for help from major media platforms, begging to find a hospital with similar cases with the help of netizens and be able to remove needles for Xiaobai.
After learning about Xiaobai's misfortune, netizens denounced the hospital involved.
"This is obviously a problem with the quality of the hospital's medical equipment, is it shoddy?"
"Such a hospital is really ruined, who will dare to go to this hospital in the future"
"This is obviously a product quality and safety issue, why does a good indwelling needle break in a vein? The nurse is also unlucky, and the child is piti......ful when she encounters such a black-hearted businessman."
According to investigation, as early as 2019, the hospital involved had already stated:
Our hospital admitted that this was a medical accident, and gave Xiaobai's father 50,000 yuan at any time to let Xiaobai continue to receive treatment.
At the same time, we have been actively trying to completely solve the problem through the judicial process, and we will pay as much as the court decides. It is the patient's family who has been reluctant to resolve the matter.
Over the years, we have also been sending a special person in charge to communicate with Xiaobai's father. However, due to the complexity of this matter and the fact that Xiaobai's father resisted the judicial process, the hospital also felt very helpless.
Regarding the attitude of the hospital, Xiaobai's father said:
Although the hospital involved admitted that it was a medical accident, Xiaobai's diagnosis and treatment costs were as high as more than 100,000 yuan after the incident.
And every time, I took the initiative to communicate with the hospital, and only by writing an IOU did the hospital be willing to lend me money.
As time went on, communication with the hospital became more and more difficult.
With the fermentation of the incident, netizens extremely disapproved of the hospital's handling method.
Even the victim's family is asked to borrow money from the party at fault!
Xiaobai has been suffering for 5 years for no reason, but the hospital just wants to solve it quickly in order to save his reputation. Anyone who encounters this kind of thing will collapse, and no one is uncommon with cold compensation, only asking the hospital to take responsibility.
On the afternoon of April 24, the reporter wanted to interview the person in charge of the hospital involved, but so far the phone has not been connected. Then he called the leader of Xingyuan Hospital, who said that he had made a mistake and immediately hung up the call.
Summary:
Regarding whether to go through the judicial process in the future, Xiaobai's father said: "Now the needle in Xiaobai's body has not been removed, and there is no way to enter the next series of facts, and I also hope that the hospital involved can take responsibility for coping."
Now the only appeal is to seek hospitals across the country to see if there are similar cases, even if the probability of success is a little higher, we are willing to try. ”
