‘A private nursing home at Mumbai left a two cm needle in a newborns thigh during vaccination that left the baby in pain with swelling and fever. The needle was removed as soon as the parents found out with the help of doctors.’
While treating the baby for osteomyelitis, the doctors incidentally found out the broken needle stuck in his left hip through an X-ray. The doctors conducted multiple x-rays to find out the exact location of the needle for the operation. The needle was removed immediately after a two-hour surgery. Thankfully the vital organs of the baby boy remained unharmed, and the infant remains admitted in the hospital with a slight infection after surgery.
The parents of the newborn planned to take necessary action against the clinic for negligence.
