Linden woman claims wrong injection has seriously affected 2-yr-old daughter
A Spieghtland, Linden woman is presently very perturbed about her daughter’s health, subsequent to a vaccine the child received at a prominent clinic in the mining town last year. According to the woman,
her two-year-old daughter (name provided) has already undergone two surgeries, and is slated for another, as her condition continues to deteriorate.
The mother added that her daughter is presently passing blood in her feces. During a recent interview, the woman outlined her present dilemma.
“I went to the clinic, and a nurse there gave my daughter an injection on the leg, and by the time I reach home me daughter vagina start to swell big, so I went back to the clinic, and the head nurse told me to put ice on it. I went home and put the ice on it, but nothing ain’t happen, I ain’t see no improvement. She then advised me to take her to the hospital.
However when I take her to the hospital at Linden, they said they couldn’t handle it, let me take the child to Georgetown…so I took her to Georgetown Hospital. There I was told that she had a hernia, which was a reaction from the injection.”
The child subsequently had to undergo surgery for the condition, but instead of improving, her vagina continued to swell even more than before the mother pointed out.
After that she took the child back to the Georgetown Hospital where she underwent another surgery the mother further reported.
Still there was no improvement, the mother claims.
According to the woman, subsequent to the two operations she took the child back to the clinic, and told the nurse what the doctor at the Georgetown Hospital told her about the injection causing a reaction in the child.
“And you know what that nurse tell me? She said the doctor got to be smoking cocaine…he’s a madman.
I later carried my child to a private doctor who advised me to take her to another specialist.
I then take her to the specialist, who said that the incision was made too high, and that there was some problem with the injection.”
The woman said that she now has to find $65,000 for her daughter’s third surgery, and would have to find even more money for the child’s stay in hospital. In all, the total expenses are at least a hundred thousand dollars, she added.
“Now where am I going to find that kind of money? I’m not rich and I have seven other children to take care of…right now I don’t know what to do!”
The woman said she is very concerned about her child’s condition, but admits that the cost for further medical intervention is prohibitive. (Enid Joaquin)
