On October 11, Mr. Liu, the uncle of the infant who died in infancy, said in an interview with the media that on the morning of October 8, the baby was found to have a high jaundice value during the pre-discharge examination, so he stayed in the Yiling District Maternal and Child Health Hospital in Yichang City for treatment, and the child's father sent breast milk twice at about 2 pm and 6 pm on the 8th, and everything was normal at that time, but at 11 o'clock at night, he received the news of the child's death.
Mr. Liu said that the family later saw in the surveillance video that the baby had been motionless after 8:20 p.m., and the nurse had only discovered the abnormality when he made an inspection at 9 p.m.
The day after the tragedy, Mr. Liu and his family went to the hospital to inquire about the cause of the baby's death, and the reply was that "jaundice into the brain suffocated and died". "We want to ask for an explanation, to ask them to review the cause of death, to have a true explanation." Mr. Liu said that at present, apart from a "informed consent form for the handling of stillborn babies", the family has not received any other written materials.
"When the hospital negotiated, it said that it would give us 20,000 yuan as compensation, and there was a funeral fee of more than 40,000 yuan, and said that if we want to investigate why the child is gone, let us find an agency to dissect and identify it." Mr. Liu said that no amount of money could get the child back, and he and his family hoped that they would be held accountable, "at least give our family an explanation, and at least apologize to the child's parents." ”
