Hospital Blunder: Ward Boy Uses Glue on Child's Wound

A child's accidental head injury took a frightening turn when a private hospital allegedly used super glue as an adhesive to close a deep cut. The family reported that a ward boy applied the chemical, causing severe pain and complications, as no doctor was available in the emergency ward at the time. The situation escalated overnight, prompting the parents to seek immediate help at a different medical facility.

At the second hospital, medical professionals dedicated nearly three hours to carefully removing the hardened adhesive from the child's wound. Once the foreign substance was cleared, the injury was properly treated and required several stitches. Doctors expressed concern that the chemical could have caused more severe damage, particularly if it had come into contact with the child's eyes.

Following the ordeal, the child's father filed a formal complaint with health authorities and the Chief Minister's Office. Chief Medical Officer Dr. Ashok Kataria confirmed the complaint and initiated a formal investigation by a two-member team. The family awaits strict action against the hospital administration, while their son is now recovering.
