One-year-old loses finger in alleged hospital scissors mishap

A one-year-old child in Bangkok lost his finger in an alleged hospital incident, according to a parent's account. The child had been admitted to the hospital for flu-like symptoms and stayed for ten nights. A nursing assistant, while attempting to remove tape securing an IV line, reportedly accidentally cut the child's finger with scissors.

The parent stated that the child had initially been in pain and was unable to sleep, and later experienced breathing difficulties requiring mechanical ventilation. Two operations were performed to reattach the finger, which was successful. However, the parent expressed concern over the incident, questioning hospital procedures and the care provided during the removal of IV equipment from young patients. Further information from the hospital and authorities is needed to fully understand the incident.
