Outrageous medical negligence occurred in Xiamen, Mainland China. A 4-year-old girl who underwent a bone marrow aspiration operation died on the operating table due to the negligence of the medical staff. What is even more unacceptable to the parents of the girl is the attitude of the hospital to evade responsibility. As for the main cause of death, the hospital would rather go to court than admit their mistakes.

According to “Cover News”, a girl surnamed Liu was taken by her father to a hospital in Xiamen for more than 20 days for examination at the end of last year because her fever persisted, and she was discharged after recovering. However, Liu’s father took his daughter to a follow-up visit in March this year, and was told that her daughter had blood abnormalities of unknown etiology, and was later diagnosed with leukemia, requiring up to 13 stages of treatment.

Originally, the girl had completed 95% of the treatment after two courses of treatment and was close to a full recovery. How could she have died on the operating table in the third stage of bone marrow aspiration surgery in May this year. Liu’s father said that at that time, the puncture was performed according to the doctor’s request to evaluate the curative effect. As a result, his daughter went in for more than 10 minutes. “I only heard a sudden howl in the operating room.” However, the daughter was found to be pale, incontinent, and cold all over, and was pronounced dead afterward.

Liu’s father said in tears that a group of doctors and nurses spent more than 40 minutes at that time, but they did not use any equipment and were not sent to the intensive care unit to rescue their daughter. “, unable to swallow this breath, he went to Weijian, the police and a third-party appraisal company for mediation and autopsy, but received a report that shocked him even more.

The appraisal report pointed out that it was not the attending physician or other doctors who operated the equipment at that time, but Gui Peisheng (a medical graduate who had received a three-year resident standardized training), “56 to 95% of the errors in the hospital” There are obvious flaws in the preoperative notification, preoperative preparation, and intraoperative specification. However, at the beginning of July, although the hospital admitted that there was some negligence, and was willing to pay 50,000 yuan (about NT$220,000) and take half of the responsibility, but after Liu’s father refused to accept it, the hospital stopped contacting them and refused to answer their calls, just keeping a low profile He told the media that he “had to enter the judicial process.”
