小钰珊坏死左手还未动刀,一扭便脱Yok Shan's surgery Shocking Revelation




小钰珊今日进行截肢手术,让我感到最痛心的是小钰珊坏死的左手部分竟然腐化至医生还未动刀,一扭便自动脱落,而主治医生之前竟浑然不知,还告知父母整个手术过程需耗时4个小时!

这显示出医院平时根本没有给予小钰珊仔细的检查,也不清楚小钰珊坏死左手的腐化程度已如此严重。我也对卫生部长拿督蔡细历之前表示将派出医生每天专门监督小钰珊情况的谈话,感到失望,因为以目前的情况来看,这根本是说一套,做一套。

原本预算4小时的小钰珊截肢手术,医生还未动刀,一扭便已自动脱落,仅5分钟便已戏剧性完成整个截肢手术。 目前院方并没有为女儿的伤口缝合,医生只是清洗伤口,并指伤口将自然愈合。

至于坏死部分是否会蔓延,医生说断肢部位有些发炎,还须观察两星期。

我呼吁,卫生部必须为医院的疏忽负责,包括为小钰珊安装义肢,以及负责医药费等。然而至今小钰珊的父母还未接获有关安抚金与赔偿的通知。对此行动党的律师将极力争取,倘若卫生部没有任何的表示,我们将协助小钰珊采取法律诉讼行动。

此外,更令人惊讶的是巴生中央医院昨晚在为小钰珊母亲抽血时,竟然再度插错血管。根据小钰珊母亲说,医院为了以备今日女儿动手术之需,而为她抽血。

但是第一次插血管时却因为插错血管,没有血液流出,之后才另行插过。医院根本没有吸取之前的教训,反而一再出现疏忽。

国会反对党领袖林吉祥将于星期一将此事带入国会讨论,为小钰珊讨回一个公道。

Shocking Revelation!

Case 1:

9am Surgery to begin.Duration of the surgery was estimated about 4 hours.

9.30am Two doctors went into the surgery theater.

10am The two doctors came out. They explained that no surgery was needed on Yok Shan's hand. Her rotten hand came off just by a slight twist. The whole procedure took less than 5 minutes.

Case 2:

Yok Shan's mother had the same horrifying experience yesterday. Needle inserted into her vein the first time but drew no blood. The mother's blood initially is used for Yok Shan's surgery,in case of anything happened.

Opposition Leader Lim Kit Siang will bring out this issue on Monday Parliament.

Dear Peter...
I had been follow up Yok Shan's condition through your blog...

I disagree with your description:

1st - there is nothing such as "插错血管" - if it is drawing blood, a medical staff could draw blood from a vein or an artery, either one will do...If you are mentioning about putting an IV line - a mispuncture of artery does happen from time to time - nothing to shout...
but from your description the "插错血管" is a mis-puncture - and it is nothing to shout as well, even with in good hand, it is common to miss a vessel. Your report will make the medical staff having a more difficult time in the future : 1 puncture to get a line going or the doctor is incompetent…
”医院根本没有吸取之前的教训,反而一再出现疏忽” – negligence is not the proper word to use here. No doctor will like to puncture twice on a patient if they can do puncture once. Hospital definitely learnt their lesson : but mis-puncture is nothing the system can do – it just happen and will definitely happen in the future..

What have cause poor Yok Shan her hand ? there were few version of story running over the net/newspaper..
1. Infection : the antiseptic(cleaning the needle insertion site ) was not done properly.

2. Mispuncture of the needle into the muscle AND flowing to much of IV fluid into the muscle causing it to swell until a big pressure was formed and compressing the nerve, vessel over the hand(known as compartment syndrome).

There issue is not poor technique (how good the doctor can put in a needle) but the care quality. Did they follow the procedure before the needle is inserted (which is proper cleaning in this case) or check the IV line if it is flowing properly( which is smoothness of the flow and observe if any swelling noted around the site). It is definitely not the responsible of one individual in this case.

Share with you something about putting a needle and getting a IV line for young children(especially baby) – there is something called a vein viewer. I suggest that all govt hospital equipped with such equipment – this is something to be brought out in the Parliament.. The key point here is not to save Yok Shan future but to save other kids as well…

可怜的孩子,你要加油要快快好起来。不要让爸爸妈妈伤心。医生应该是人们的救命人物但如果能加多点爱心就会更好。爱,它不分人,事,物。是中庸的每个人都有它的立场,但不代表就应为你的立场而然它消失。

我觉得那个小女孩好可怜,希望她能够快快好起来。院方也因该多多注意小女孩。医生们更因该付出多一点爱心,去看待每一个病患!
