Doctors mixed up newborns and caused chemical burns to a healthy child at birth…
Doctors mixed up newborns and caused chemical burns to a healthy child in a maternity hospital in Lyubertsy.
The babies were in the same room. One of them had a rash and red spots on his body that needed to be treated. The other one was healthy. When the mother of the first baby left the room, and the second was lying under a drip, doctors appeared.
According to the baby's grandmother, they took a healthy child and smeared medicine on his skin. After some time, the mothers realized that the children were mixed up, but the doctors said nothing to this. The patient was also not told what medicine was applied to the skin, and complaints were brushed off in the style of “we’ll smear everyone.”
A couple of days later, the healthy baby developed deep wounds and began to bleed. He was taken to the children's department in a moderate condition.
The parents of the injured baby wrote a statement to all authorities; examinations showed that it was a chemical burn: the ointment that was used to treat the baby smelled strongly of alcohol. At the maternity hospital they apologized to my mother and promised to talk to the doctor who had messed up. In the extract, doctors indicated that the child had an unknown infection. Now the baby is being given IV drips and he is coming to his senses. The Federal Service for Surveillance in Healthcare is conducting an inspection.
