IMAGINE you bring back home wrong baby after your wife discharged from hospital following delivery. What a horrible experience will it be? This is not for a temporary crisis, it is for the rest of life with the wrong burden. It is the case happening in KK women and child hospital here. Today local paper reported the case to alert public not to repeat when it come to their own. Hospital only knew the case when the older couple report the mix-up after mother realizes the tag attached on the ankle of the baby was wrongfully shown mother name. She immediately report the mistake to seek the truth. The other side who took wrong baby was first time parent. They didn't bother the tag and threw it away without checking. According to hospital authority, the nurses are supposed to check baby's identity tag before they are being discharged. The realistic problem is the nurses are hesitant when babies are sleeping in wrap when they discharge. Likewise, most of parent are not cooperative as they don't want to distract baby's well sleep. This might have been the reason behind the case, said CEO of KK Hospital to media. At the same time, the authority pledges to media not to repeat the same mistake in future.
Distraught parents rush back hospital with anxiety and they are being taken to check their DNA to ensure the baby swap are rectified. The result would be known on coming weekend and definitely it will be difficult moment for the new parent until the result come out. I could imagine how would it like to feel for them as a father of a child. My daughter was delivered in a private hospital of my home town back in Myanmar and hopefully there was no such mistaken happened to me. The latest news will make all parent-to-be excited and may change their plan on delivering in KK. For the good side is that this finding will make new parent more alert when they're discharging from hospital. In fact, it is partly their responsibility to check the tag properly just before they left hospital. Anyway, the process is long and involved many professionals and all of them have to be right so that such incident won't happen to anybody. My current flatmate couple is getting pregnant and seeing doctor at KK Women now. I hope they will see today news and know what they should do next when the time come to their turn there. I may remind them in case they didn't aware of news this evening when I get back home.
May all parent free from worry whenever they welcome their new baby.
