5-Day-Old Nigerian Boy May Lose Arm To Amputation After Kano Hospital Doctor Forgets To Remove Medical Device Attached To Limb For 18 HoursA tourniquet is a device that is used to apply pressure to a limb or extremity in order to stop the flow of blood.
The incident occurred a few hours after the baby was born at the Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital , Kano.Malam Umaru Shamsu, the boy's father, told Daily Trust that the tragic incident began after his wife underwent surgery and doctors discovered that the boy had a problem with his breathing, prompting them to admit him to the hospital's paediatric clinic.
When the hand was examined by physiotherapy doctors at the hospital, they discovered that it was not working. In response to the tragic incident, the hospital's public relations officer, Hajiya Hauwa Muhd Abdullahi, said in a statement that the management was shocked and condemned the doctor's alleged negligence.
Are you sure this baby does not have Erb's palsy? This is because the physiotherapists are already involved . They are not medical Doctors oh. My opinion!!!
This is very sad.

If negligence has overwhelmed the doctor responsible for this,then what is now d duty of the nurses in the pediatric unit? Should we say d nurses too had no knowledge that the tourniquet had to be removed after 2minutes?This is pure lack of professionalism from the Medical teams
