Update:The case of the baby who almost bled to death from a central line.

Finally some good news!

The baby and its twin are both doing well and are expected to leave hospital in the next week or two. According to our sources the child remained in intensive care for 3 weeks because of small size and the "accidental bleeding" episode.

According to family sources the doctors looking after the children are confident that both would survive with minimal to no adverse effects. The child who had the "accident" would apparently be on anti-epilepsy medications for a few more weeks and be subjected to frequent developmental assessments to identify possible neurological and developmental deficits.

Note: We have received emails from one individual claiming to be a nurse looking after the child. Her primary concern was that we were only covering negative aspects of hospital care, in particular newborn intensive care. We would like to publicly state that we do investigate other cases as well but do not get the same level of information and cooperation from patient families when the reported cases involve adults and elderly. We are willing to bring out both sides of any story and would encourage everyone to write to us to express their views.
