The death of a four-year-old child due to sepsis has shocked everyone. The child's parents allege that the doctors ignored their repeated requests and their child died due to lack of timely treatment. This case has emerged as another sad example of negligence in the medical sector.

 

According to a report by TOI, this tragic incident happened when the 4-year-old child suddenly started having fever and difficulty breathing. The parents immediately took the child to the hospital. There they requested the doctors to admit the child, but the doctors refused to accept him, calling it a minor infection.

 

The parents say that they repeatedly told the doctors that the child's condition was deteriorating, but their pleas were ignored. Over the next few hours, the child's condition worsened so much that he had to be taken to the ICU. Unfortunately, the child died before treatment could begin.

What is sepsis?

Sepsis is a serious infection that can start anywhere in the body and can be fatal if not treated on time. In this, the body's immune system starts reacting excessively, causing damage to the organs, and eventually their ability to function ends.

The mother of the dead child cried and said that we told the doctors with folded hands that our child's condition was serious, but they did not listen to us. If he had received treatment on time, then perhaps our son would have been alive today.

 

Doctors' side:

The hospital administration clarified the matter by saying that the doctors had thoroughly examined the child and it was not considered a serious case. However, the hospital has formed an internal committee to investigate this tragic incident.

What is the solution?

This incident highlights the lack of awareness and sensitivity in the health system. Experts say that it is very important to identify the early symptoms of sepsis and start treatment immediately. Apart from this, it is also the duty of every doctor to listen seriously to the patients and their families.
