The Taiwanese and Hong Kong woman was pregnant in October. She was supposed to welcome a new family member with her husband. It is expected that the pregnant woman had hemorrhaged heavily after giving birth to her daughter in the clinic, and her head was in a vegetative state due to hypoxia. The Taiwanese husband posted an article on the Internet yesterday (23rd), questioning whether it was true Wife suffers from medical error at clinic.

The article mentioned that the Hong Kong wife had little chance of recovery. "When I heard it, my whole heart was broken."

He was strong for his newborn daughter, but the huge medical expenses and pressure made him overwhelmed, so he turned to the Internet for help.

He pointed out that the obstetrics and gynecology clinic involved in the obstetrics and gynecology clinic did not do anything to stop the bleeding and transfusion of his wife. Insufficient resilience.


The netizen stated that his wife, a Hong Kong citizen, performed an obstetric examination and delivery at an obstetrics and gynecology clinic on Fuke Road, Taichung City, and a doctor surnamed Cheng was in charge.

During the postpartum examination, the doctor said that the head circumference of the fetus was two weeks smaller, the shoulders were one week larger, and the weight was close to 3,450 grams. It needed to be born 10 days earlier.

Following the doctor's advice, the couple arrived at the clinic on the afternoon of September 17 last year to give birth. After about 28 to 29 hours, he accompanied his wife into the delivery room to give birth. The child was born at 9:12 pm and weighed 3,100 grams. There seemed to be no abnormality during the process. .

The couple was very happy to see the child and took a family photo in the delivery room.

Afterwards, the doctor said that he was going to be sutured and asked him to wait outside the delivery room.

"I couldn't hide my excitement as I waited, but I didn't know that a terrible tragedy was about to befall us," he said.

About 40 minutes later, the wife was pushed out of the delivery room and entered the recovery room. At that time, her complexion was very poor. He thought it was caused by just giving birth. The doctor said that the wife's uterine contraction was not good. After speaking, he left the scene; the nurse also left after instructing him how to press the uterus, leaving him alone.

After he pressed his wife's uterus for about 10 minutes, the wife realized that there was some fluid coming out of her genitals, but she thought it might be lochia from postpartum discharge. After he continued to press for about 5 to 10 minutes, the wife felt that the discharge seemed to be more, so he lifted the quilt. It was found that "the entire sheet was stained red by the blood that flowed."

The victimized netizen continued to say that the doctor went to the recovery room to observe the bleeding of his wife, and began to call the hospital for transfer. After about 5 to 10 minutes, he asked the nurse to call 119 for an ambulance and told his wife to be transferred to Taichung Rong.

While waiting for the ambulance for about 20 minutes, the doctor did not do any hemostasis or blood transfusion measures.

He pointed out that his wife had gradually become unconscious before being sent to the ambulance, and had lost more than 1,000 ml of blood during the process. She told him with the only remaining consciousness, "she is leaving, she loves me very much, and wants me to take good care of our baby." .

When his wife was sent to the emergency room of General Rong Hospital, General Rong's obstetrics medical team gave her an emergency blood transfusion of 10,000 ml. Dr. General Rong pointed out that the amount of blood loss from his wife's uterus was too large, and she had to urgently remove the uterus to save her life.

After the removal of the uterus, the wife underwent several major operations and was admitted to the intensive care unit for observation and treatment for more than two months. All aspects of her body organs continued to decline, and her consciousness has never recovered.

Dr. Rong Zong diagnosed his wife with hypoxic encephalopathy due to massive hemorrhage, with little chance of regaining consciousness. Clinically, she belongs to a terminally ill patient with brain injury, that is, a vegetative person with a serious condition.

"When I heard this, my whole heart was broken." The victim complained bitterly that a beautiful family had suffered such a change, and his life was completely ruined. Taking into account the newborn baby, he could only choose to face it firmly.

However, according to his current situation and work income, he could not cope with his wife's long-term care costs and huge medical expenses. All kinds of huge pressures and difficulties in life left him at a loss and did not know how to deal with it.

The victimized netizen mentioned in the article that after discussing with the doctor of the obstetrics and gynecology clinic involved, they questioned that the doctor already knew that the maternal uterine contraction was not good, and should be able to observe at the scene and carry out emergency treatment at any time instead of leaving the scene; when the wife was bleeding, the doctor did not There was no hemostasis or blood transfusion for her, and the doctor said that the obstetrics and gynecology department does not have a blood bank. If a blood transfusion is required, the mother must go to the blood donation center to collect blood after the mother suffers from postpartum hemorrhage.

He believes that for patients with major bleeding, the rescue time is racing against time. If the time from the incident to the delivery can be shortened, and effective medical treatment can be done within an effective time, the degree of injury to his wife may be reduced.

As a husband, a father, and the guardian of my wife, I really don't want a healthy wife to lose her beautiful life and her right to be a mother because of a doctor's misjudgment or medical flaws. .

Every time I see her lying on the hospital bed with hard work and pain, and think of the pain and suffering she has experienced along the way, I sincerely hope that I can win something for her.

I hope that if you have any suggestions or help, you can leave a message or private message to me. I also hope that the relevant government units can understand my difficulties and give timely help.
