Another case of gross doctor negligence
We have in the past few weeks editorialised what seems to be becoming a trend in many public and private medical institutions, the erosion of ethics in the medical profession when it comes to treating patients. In less than two weeks, the second incident of a newborn child being declared dead was found to be alive. The child was born prematurely at Centre for Specialised Care and Research on October 4 in Chittagong and parents, both doctors, were informed that the child’s breathing was normal and transferred the baby to the neonatal intensive care unit for observation by on-duty doctors. Strangely enough the baby was declared dead within two hours of birth and handed over in a box with death certificate issued.
