A Jordanian woman claims a doctor left his
mobile phone in her abdomen after delivering her baby by Caesarean
section. Hanan Mahmoud Abdul Karim, 36, was admitted to a private
hospital in Amman, Jordan, for the operation on April 24th this
year. She claims that during the procedure, the doctor left his mobile
phone in her abdomen, Scoop has more:
Her mother, Majeda Abdul Hamid, told local media that her daughter gave
birth to a 4.8kg boy (10.5 lbs) and as all appeared to be well, she was
sent home from hospital. But later, she claims her family noticed her
stomach vibrating and she began suffering terrible pain. ‘My daughter
suffered serious pains and could not move,’ the mother is quoted as
saying.
‘I brought her back to the hospital where
she was treated but nothing was done for her.’ Hanan was then
allegedly rushed to the casualty department of Al Bashir public
hospital, where X-rays revealed there was a foreign object in her
abdomen. She claims surgeons quickly operated to remove the phone. Her
case was brought up in the Jordanian parliament, where parliament member
Salim Al Bataynah called on the Jordanian government to resign as a
result of the scandal.
He said: ‘In countries which show respect
to their nations, and following such scandals, governments usually
resign,’ according to Gulf News. The parliament should show
responsibility and be on the level of the case.’ Gulf News reports
the Jordanian Health Ministry spokesman Hatem Al Azrae said Hanan’s
story was ‘baseless and a fabricated one’, but added that the ministry
is following it. TO BE THE 1ST TO GET ALL THE LATEST UPDATES DIRECTLY ON YOUR BBM CLICK HERE TO JOIN TRENDYNAIJA BBM CHANNEL NOW
