GOVERMENT HOSPITAL VS PUBLIC

My son was admitted to Goverment Hospital on the 14th September 2009, after the car accident. Doctor Zalinah told me and my husband that my son had just minor injuries and nothing to be worried of.
When they did the plastic surgery, I and my husband were there. I heard my son screaming so loud in pain. They did the surgery without applying any anaesthetic or pain killer on his wounds. I was in tears as I can feel the pain and knew how painful it was. When he was brought out from the room, he was crying. He shouted saying how bloody they are, so painful. Then I asked him what they did to him. He answered me, “They hold me like a pig (2-3 nurse and a doctor)”. He got up and sat down on his bed, asked for water and I gave him. When he was brought to the Neuro Ward, he asked me to take him home and don’t leave him there and he also claimed that they will kill him.
Then, I hold his hand and cried. I told him, “Let your wound get heal first and I will take you home soon. I promise you”. He cried again and said that he has to meet so many people regarding of his business and wants to go home now. When I came back during the visiting hours at 4.30p.m on the same day, I saw his two hands and two legs were tied so tight and his wounds were bleeding. I told to two of the student nurse, who was there, “He is not a mad boy that you all should tie up him so tight like this”. My God I told them don’t do this. Then I untied him and after that only he can move out his hands and legs and touch his nose. I kept saying, “Look his wound is bleeding like this and you don’t have a proper bandage. He will be running out of blood if the wound is left like this.
When I came the next day, I saw him lying on the bed with out pants. His blanket and bed sheet was full of blood. His wound on his right heel was open and bleeding. Every time when I ask the doctors about his condition and how well is he getting on, they said he is okay and nothing to worry about. As I am not a doctor, I was happy to hear the word okay. I thought it was real that everything was okay and he has no reason to die. But then I realized that it is just because the doctors in Neuro Ward did nothing to save his life.
My son was never diagnosed with heart disease, lung disease and kidney disease before as he was very fit in every thing apart from the accident injuries. This is said because he was a sportsman and he has his health check ups regularly.
My son’s death wouldn’t have taken place if the doctors in charge of Neuro Ward were doing their job. I saw this with my own eyes as my son was able to talk, sing and also was allowed to walk to the bathroom with his left ankle fractured and his right heel wounded. There is nothing that I could see or understand the reasons for his death.
A drop of my tears is like a drop of my son’s blood, and my heart burns like fire burning. This is what I can tell you right now.
The nurse was very rough with him when taking blood by pulling his hand and shouting at him to keep quiet in front of me. I told the nurse to take the needle and prick it into her own head and see how much does it pain. I also said to the nurse, “If you can do this kind of work in front of me, then what more to say at the back of me? You might do more bad things to him. I assume that God only knows what you are doing”.
If they were about to ask me what is the proof that I have? I would say, “If I knew that my son is going to die, I could have taken a video camera and tape record on my son’s movements and proof it to you. As if you think that we the parent telling you the truth is not a proof.”
