A five-year-old boy suffering from fever was left with a pin in his hip after a nurse at General Hospital, KGF, negligently administered an injection to the child and left the broken needle inside his body. Later, he was rushed with a swollen hip to Victoria Hospital, Bengaluru, where he had to undergo surgery.
According to Dr Shivakumar, district surgeon, KGF General Hospital, the boy was brought to the facility around 4.30pm on Saturday with fever. A nurse on duty administered an injection to him on directions of the duty doctor. However, she noticed the needle was missing from the syringe.
While the nurse began to search for the needle, the boy’s mother kept rubbing the hip to reduce his pain. The nurse thought the needle may have been lost. Meanwhile, the boy and his parents left the hospital.
Around 8pm, the parents approached the district surgeon with the boy, whose hip was swollen. The parents got an X-ray of the hips, which clearly showed the needle was stuck inside.
