- A Facebook netizen named Jiana Zarate shared an infuriating post on her personal account.
- She complained about the hospital after her daughter died and discovered that she had unhygienic stitches on various parts of her body.
Many people rely on hospitals to treat them when they are ill as they are confident that the medical practitioners would know better than them since it is their specialization.
Every medical staff surely knows how hard it is to pass and finish their studies; therefore it is truly worth it for them the moment they step on their chosen field. Because of the same reason, they make sure that they will be able to properly apply what they had learned and do everything to keep their patient alive.
However, not all medical practitioners are committed to their vow, as there are professionals who didn’t even bother treating their patient right.
A mother of a deceased kid named Jiana Zarate, publicly criticized the hospital she brought her child into after they mistreated her daughter.
Read the whole story below:
“SA APAT NA ARAW NAMIN JAN SA HOSPITAL NIYU ANG DAMING NANGYARI SA ANAK NAMIN NA HANGGANG NGAYUN WALANG SAGOT… SA LAHAT PO NG NAGTATANONG SA KUNG ANONG NANGYARI KAY CRIZTAL ITO NA PO YUN…….REGION 1 MEDICAL CENTER DAGUPAN CITY PANGASINAN, sinugod po namin sa hospital niyu ang anak namin dahil sabi po nila nadehydrate na po yung bata… kaya dali dali po namin siyang sinugod sa hospital nniyu sinaksakan niyu po siya ng dextros at kinuhanan ng dugo tapos inadmit niyu na po kami… kinagabihan pinainom niyu po siya ng paracetamol dahil mataas po yung lagnat niya at lagi niyu pong sinasabi saamin na banyusan namin siya para bumaba yung init niya. kina umagahan medyu okay na po yung lagay niya nakakapag responce na po siya sa mga sinasabi namin nakakaupo narin po siya…”
According to Zarate, they took her child to the hospital due to the reason that she was dehydrated. At first, the hospital addressed their concern as soon as possible and gave the little girl all the necessary medications for her fast recovery.
However, things went wrong after the doctor asked for another blood sample from the kid.
“Tapos nun kinuhanan niyu po ulit siya ng dugo dahil order po ng doktor. dahil sabi niyu tumigas yung unang kuha niyu ng dugo saknya. tapos di parin bumababa ung lagnat niya kaya tinurukan niyu po siya ng paracetamol sa may dextros.hinayaan ko po kasi kailangan sa bawat kuha niyu po ng dugo sa anak namin wala kayung sinasabi saamin kung anong meron sa dugo niya wala kayung sinasabing findings. napansin namin parang nanghihina ulit yung bata dahil sa kakatusok niyu at kakakuha ng dugo sa kanya, uu dahil sabi niyu kailangan.. pero naisip ko pwede naman po sa isang kuha niyi palang ng dugo pwede niyu naman ng iixamin dun lahat ehh. pero bakit ganun bawat order ng doktor kukuhanan niyu siya ng dugo.. uu sige kasi nga order yun ng Doktor niyu. pero bakit sa isang INTERN niyu pinaubaya ang pagkuha ng dugo sa anak ko? alam niyu yung apat na beses po niyang tinusok yung anak ko pero di parin niya nakuha yung ugat… may ginagawa siya sa anak ko tuwing tutusukan niya talagang ihahanap niya … uu galit na galit po ako dahil bakit pakukuhanin niyu ng dugo sa anak ko isang INTERN?”
Even though the staffs didn’t give her any details of the possible reasons why the child was dehydrated, she didn’t complain since she thought they were the ones who know more about a person’s health.
But when the child was asked for a blood sample, the hospital didn’t bother to let a professional do the job and had an intern do it instead. She had nothing against the intern, but the person seemed unknowledgeable as the intern couldn’t inject the needle properly.
“Tapos nung mga panahon na puro kayu patusok at pakuha ng pakuha ng dugo.. nanghina po yung anak ko.. sinaksakan niyo po siya paracetamol ulit kasi mataas parin yung lagnat niya tapos isinonod niyu agad yung ANTIBIOTIC. dahil kailangan niya..kinagabihan napansin ko tiyan ng anak ko lumalaki na at bumibilis heartbeat niya…sinabi ko sainyu yun pero walang react. nagsuka ng dalawang beses ang anak ko ng kulay green sinabi ko sainyu inoobserbahan niyu palang. hanggang sa patuloy na ganun parin ang sitwasyun ng anak ko…tapos biglang may doktor na pumunta sa kwarto namin inobserbahan niya anak ko…nagrequest ako sainyu na ipa ultrasound yung bata pero nung panahon na yun wala daw ang ultrasound kasi sunday kaya xray sabi nung doktor sa surgical ang result sa xray niya may sensyales na may nakabara sa bituka na parang INTUS PERO wala kayung nakitang senyales na meron siyang ganun kasi di naman tumatae ng dugo yung anak ko, tapos sabi niyu kailangan niyu ng ipaglagyan ng NGT yung bata para matulungan siyang huminga tapos umalis na kayu.”
After the child received paracetamol and antibiotic at the same time, suddenly, she experienced some unusual occurrences that had Zarate worried sick. She begged the hospital to do an ultrasound on her to find out the reason why the kid’s stomach is bloated and opted for x-ray instead.
The doctor said that the kid probably has Intus, but wasn’t confirmed as there were no symptoms shown.
“Pag alis meron ulit ang sabi kailangan na daw lagyan ng NGT yung bata para matulungan siyang huminga at mailabas yung nasa tiyan ng bata na nakabara. uu nung una hindi kami pumayag… pangalawang sabi niyu di parin kami pumayag… pangatlong sabi niyu uu na pumayag na kami dahil nakikita nanamin yung anak namin hirap na talaga.. pumirma kami ng waver dahil nga sabi niyu matutulungan ng NGT yung anak namin.. pero bakit ganun nung kinabitan niyu ng ganun lalong nahiran yung anak namin… at lalong bumilis heartbeat niya? sabi niyu kasi dahil dun sa malaki yung tyan niya kaya halos di siya makahinga… eh yung unang sabi niyu saamin matutulungan ng NGT NIYU yung bata ehh!! anyari?? kinaumagahan may pumuntang mga doktor sa kwarto namin 5 na doktor sabi niyu ipapa ultrasound niyu na yung bata.”
The staffs convinced the mother to have her on NGT to help the kid breathe normally – which she agreed to after seeing that her daughter was in pain.
However, her child’s condition seemed to worsen after following what the staffs recommended.
“Ang nakita niyu sa ultrasound meron talagang parang nakabara sa bituka niya nagsabi kayu na ooperahan siya pero halos di kami makasagot.. kasi parang di kayu sure sa kung anong meron sa bata ehh.. nilagay niyu siya sa PICU… puro parin kayu kuha ng dugo sa bata wala na kaming magawa.. pinalabas niyu kami sa PICU.. tapos bigala niyu kaming tatawagin para ipump na yung heart ng bata.. anyari… wLa man lang kayung sinabi na lalagyan niyu na pala ng tubo yung heart ng bata.. uu nanlumo ako… sobra sobra!!!! nakita ko sitwasyun ng bata habang pinapump nalang ang lamig lamig na ng katawan at nangitim na lahat,ng tusok sa katawan niya pero lumalaban parin siya… ang lakas ng anak ko ehh kaya pa niya ehh.. sabi niyu saamin nawala yung heartbeat niya biglang tumigil pero after ilang minutes siguro narivive niyu opo bumalik heartbeat niya kasi lumalaban siya ehh ayaw pa niyang mawala… ayaw pa niya kaming iwan..”
Everything seemed to happen in a blink of an eye. One moment, they were telling Zarate that they need to conduct surgery on the kid, and later asked the parents to pump the kid’s heart without letting them know that there were going to put a tube in the kid’s heart.
The only that she knows is that her child is trying to survive.
“Ang saya namin sobrang thankful kami sa pinakita ng anak namin saamin kahit ganun na yung sitwasyun niya na ang lamig lamig na ng buong katawan niya lumalaban parin siya.. yung nakita ng asawa ko na higit 20 plus na pag tutusok niyu sa kaniya sa dalawang kamay niya dalawang paa niya nung nasa ICU siya hinahayaan nalang ng bata pero alam niyu tuwing naiisip ko durog yung puso ko DUROG NA DUROG .. sabi niyu ooperahan niyu siya … pero kailangan palakasin niyu muna siya.kasi di pa siya stable.. nagdecide kami na ilipat siya ng hospital pero ang dami niyung sinabi saamin na negative… lalo kaming nadepress at naguluhan. so wala po wala na po kaming choice kundi mag uu nalang.”
After they were able to revive the child, the staffs told them again about the surgery. When Zarate and her husband told them that they were going to transfer her to another hospital, the staffs discouraged them by saying negative things which made them more uneasy.
“Nakatulog lang ako ng ilang oras tapos pumunta ako sa PICU sabi binababa niyu na yung anak ko sa OR !! anyari po di ba di pa siya stable bakit inoperahan niyu agad?? humabol ako eh buti naabutan ko pa yung anaK ko bagu niyu sia ipasok sa OR. nung tnatawag ko pangalan ng niya bigla siyang dumilat saakin na parang alam mo yung natatakot na siya … kasi parang alam na niya mangyayari sa kanya… pagkatapos ng operation. pinatawag niyu kami para sabihin na wala na yung anak namin..”
Without even letting the parents know, the staffs proceeded to do surgery on her. After the operation, they simply called the parents to let them know that the kid had passed away already.
“Tapos kinausap ako ng isang doktor na babae na ang nangyari sa anak ko nagkabuhol buhol na yung bituka niya at yung maliit na bituka kinain ng malaking bituka… ? !! tapos nun ready na yung bata para sa paguwi sa kanya wala ng ano ano?.. basta ganun ganun nalang… habang nasa funenaria kami. sinabi nung nagbalsamo sa anak namin bakit yung bata may sugat sa gilid ng leeg at tahi sa paa? nagulat po kami kaya pinakuhanan ko ng picture… nung nakita po namin mga kuha susss… nakakapang lumo ginawa niyu sa bata… CORRECTION PO BATA PO YUN HINDI HAYUP!!!”
Zarate only realized that the hospital indeed mistreated her daughter after the funeral staff noticed the stitches on her body that wasn’t even properly done.
The kid had bruises on the side of her neck, a large stitch on her stomach and another one in her ankle.
“Tapos nag sink in na po saakin lahat..ano po pala resulta sa operation? ano na po yung cause bakit nagkaganun yung bituka ng anak ko? panu po ba nakukuha yun? bakit inoperahan niyu yung anak ko kahit alam niyung di pa siya stable?baka sabihin niyu INTUSSESEPTION nanaman? eh wala nga kayung nakitang senyales na may ganung sakit yung bata ehh.. ni hindi nga siya tumatae ng jelly n parang dugo na sinasabi niyu… normal naman po yung tae niya..tyaka wala din kayung nakapang bukol sa pwet ng bata. isa pa po ahh habang pinapump ng mister ko yung heart ng anak namin sa PICU.. may isang doKTOR na nagsabi sa kasamahan niya na kailangan ng mabuksan natin yung tiyan ng bata para MAKITA kung anong meron… so gusto niyu lang talagang makita? pinalaki at pinunu niyu lang yung mga polpol niyung mga utak!!! pero yung sitwasyun ng bata hindi niyu inisip!!!!!! tapos may word na EXPERIMENT!!!! PUTRAGIS NAMAN OHHH buhay yung pinaguusapan hindi hayup!!! pati yung pinag opera niyu sa anak ko iba ehhh.. bakit ang laki laki ng hiwa kala mo malaking tao yung inoperahan niyu? bata po yun bata !!!!!mga gago kayung mga doktor na nagopera sa anak namin… !!!!! siguro inoperahan niyu yung anak ko patay na ano? pati yung pagkakatahi niyu dun sa bata di niyu manlang inayus… warak warak… binilisan niyu ata para di kayu masita? ahhh … alam niyu yung batang pinabayaan at pinahirapan niyu… maraming nagmamahal sa batang yan… hindi basta basta bata sa lansangan yan…. BLESSING YAN SAAMING LAHAT !!! asan yung konsensya niyung mga pol pol kayu? nasaan?”
Zarate’s child died without even receiving a proper diagnosis from the doctors who operated on her daughter. Aside from the fact that they didn’t explain why her daughter suddenly became worse before she was brought to the hospital.
Moreover, the parents were furious after seeing the stitches and the label ‘experiment’ as it gives them the idea that the doctors and staffs only used her child for an experiment.
On the other hand, the netizens expressed their sympathy and condemned the hospital for what they had done to Zarate’s child.
The case of Zarate’s daughter is truly unfortunate as it appears that the people she had entrusted her daughter’s life of were inexperienced and probably unknowledgeable about the kid’s condition.
Although the kid’s life can’t be revived, Zarate and her husband know that the kid will forever remain as their little angel and that they will not keep quiet after everything that happened.
What are your thoughts on this matter? What should Zarate do to the hospital staff?
