In Thailand, a routine hospital discharge turned into a tragedy for the family of a one-year-old child. A nurse's assistant, while removing an IV tube from the boy's arm, used scissors to cut the gauze bandage. The fabric did not give way on the first try, and after several sharp movements, the employee accidentally cut off part of the child's index finger. The mother noticed the fallen phalanx and raised the alarm. The child was urgently transferred to Sunpasitthiprasong Hospital, where he underwent two complex surgeries to attempt to reattach the finger. Doctors have not yet given a prognosis. The hospital management temporarily suspended the employee, promised to cover all medical expenses, pay compensation, and review safety protocols. The mother filed a police report.
