Nothing new...

News flash to people out there: This is nothing new!! Things like this happen in the medical world - in one form or another. Admittedly this is not a common occurrence, but a doctor would have to face a situation like this in their working lives. Most of the time the condition does not occur to such a degree and the limb is usually salvaged in the end - but unfortunately for this poor baby it is very likely that the limb would have to be amputated in the end. The demarcation is very clear - amputation would have to be done above the elbow. I would not like to speculate what exactly happened but it is clear to me that an artery has been cannulated and subsequently thrombosed. The official reason as infection being the cause is just a smokescreen - it is not an infection!

We'll just have to see how this works out. By the way, this is not the first, nor will it be the last. The previous case if I'm not mistaken was another baby in Penang. Maybe Malaysians have poor short-term memory. So like I said - this is nothing new...
