The father’s communication, which was sent No., was blamed by him.
He claimed that in response to the worsening of his daughter’s condition, the doctor and the hospital administration had told him that it was normal and expected after the surgery she had undergone, and would get better during the following hours. However, this did not occur, and instead, his daughter’s condition worsened. He accused them of neglect.
In his communication, the father also mentioned that his daughter had trouble taking her medications and eating until she became extremely fatigued. When the daughter was transferred to another hospital, the doctors discovered a piece of gauze in her nose and throat and were shocked. They immediately pulled the gauze out and found that it was 30 cm long.
According to the article, the doctor was called by the family and apologised for the oversight and acknowledged that it was not intentional. However, the family did not accept the apologies and instead chose to make a report to the prosecution so they could look into the event.
