Question
A newborn baby experienced a fracture after surgery. Can the level of the injury be determined?
Answer
In the situation you described, it cannot yet be classified as a medical incident. During the delivery process, many unforeseen situations may arise, such as a large fetus, an incorrect fetal position, or factors related to the birth canal, which can lead to similar situations. For such cases, further negotiation is required. If it is confirmed that the doctor’s negligence caused such an impact, it may be classified as a medical incident. This requires negotiation and investigation by relevant departments. It is recommended that you consult relevant departments or institutions and negotiate with the hospital to protect your legal rights. At the same time, also treat the doctor’s rights fairly. Most importantly, arrange treatment for the child as soon as possible.
