OMG!!

Well, this is way too much!!! And I wonder why baby Yok Shan's plight got so much attention, when such gross negligence in our government hospitals are left unpunished? Why would giving 'first class' treatment (actually, there is no such thing as a first class treatment in government hospitals, unless you are royalty, minister etc.) to this poor lady divert attention from the issue at hand? How could a surgeon leave a whole forceps (looks like a clamp maybe) and the entire OT team miss it? That instrument is actually quite big, and thank god that it hasn't perforated a major organ!! All instruments and gauzes used in a surgery must be accounted for prior, and after the surgery. Has there been a grave oversight on the part of those responsible...or worse, is there a cover up of sorts?

Such error is totally unforgiveable, and if I were the lady, no 'first class' treatment is enough!!! I say let's sue the government to high heaven!!! And bring the offender to the book!!! No cover-ups please!

P.S. What ever happened to baby Yok Shan's compensation anyway? Has the whole story died a natural death? Like all stories here in this countries?
