There has been plenty of traction on a report this paper carried about a Chembur resident's two-day-old infant who suffered for weeks after a clinic shockingly forgot a needle in his bottom post vaccination. Three weeks later, the infant developed a mysterious fever, and had to undergo a two-hour surgery at a children's hospital.
The report says that the parents are going to sue the clinic, but it is equally important that the establishment conduct a fair and impartial investigation into whose negligence resulted in this travesty. The clinic needs to take action against its employees.
