A circumcision operation almost led to disaster: the serum ran out and the victim was a child!

During the development of medicine, technology, and health care, some surgeries are no longer difficult or confusing, and the chances of complications are as high as they were before, especially in Lebanon. , where the names of professional doctors have appeared. , who have been able to book their seats around the globe in a difficult and almost impossible operation. How can a region that has attracted Arabs and foreigners over the past years and achieved medical achievements that amazing specialists cannot perform a minor circumcision and put a child’s life at risk, as happened there the Kabarshmoun Government Hospital a few days ago?

For those who don’t know, circumcision is a simple surgery performed on male children immediately after birth or up to the age of ten. The reasons for this process vary from personal hygiene to cultural and religious reasons. It is considered one of the inherited Arab traditions that a large number of community members still preserve and celebrate with “buzz and ring”.

The “Gharizi” family did not realize that what was waiting for them during the circumcision of the three-year-old child, Sultan, would turn their happiness for their eldest son into a curse, after the needle anesthesia and the serum cause unusual problems that appeared. in the midst of the lack of attention of the hospital and his medical staff, who had to transfer him to the Karantina Government Hospital for examination.

“We went in for the surgery in the morning, only to find ourselves in intensive care in the afternoon,” the child’s father, Omar Gharizi, told MTV.

At ten o’clock in the morning, the family of the child Sultan Gharizi entered the Kabarshmoun Government Hospital to undergo a simple “cleaning” operation. After being discharged, suddenly, his blood pressure dropped and his heart almost stopped, which required immediate medical intervention. At first, the family didn’t understand all this “chaos” in the emergency corridors. By chance, the father approached his son to check his forehead in case he had a high temperature. is a damaged combination due to the problems he suffered,” according to Omar’s novel.

He continues: “I came to my child to find the serum that was expiring Then I asked the nurses to intervene, especially after his temperature rose, his weight dropped -blood, and his heartbeat quickened, which stopped almost in the middle of that fear, he received a cold answer from one of the nurses: “You are going to be a professor.

Father Omar Gharizi is surprised by the hospital’s calm response to this incident, knowing that many similar cases suffered complications and were transferred to nearby hospitals for the same reasons, and until The Ministry of Health has not taken action in this regard.

“We accept the will and destiny of God and we do not oppose what happens to us. spoiled anesthetic, not to mention the rude treatment of the nursing staff and the sudden disappearance of the doctor, and the refusal We provided the necessary papers and proof of the corruption to file an official complaint for us to happen to any other family, and maybe it won’t go well, God forbid,” the father confirms in his speech.

Based on the right to answer, we tried to contact Kabarshmoun Government Hospital, but we did not receive any response. So we contacted the doctor in charge of the children’s department at the Karantina Hospital, Yola Nassif, who assured us that “the child was admitted to intensive care only with confidence, because when he arrived at the emergency room he was suffering only from lethargy and fatigue,” asking the families to “submit an official complaint to the Ministry of Health.”

Corruption is no longer limited to luxury offices or behind the doors of traditional official administrations. Instead, it has become a real threat that threatens our lives, young and old, under different pretexts . In addition to all the reasons, it doesn’t matter how many, the result is what it is, we ask those involved: What are you waiting for to co- shut down and hold the corrupt accountable? And how long will the Lebanese citizen pay the price for dubious deals?
