The Sorrow of a Returned Scientist From America
I am Liu ZhengFei (刘正飞), an associate professor at Hua-Zhong Agriculture University in China. I worked at Kansas State University of the U.S.A. as a postdoctoral researcher from October 2004 to April 2007 before returning
China. I obtained my PhD degree in preventive medicine for animals in 2002.
My child, Liu QianQian (刘谦谦), was two years and 5 months old, born in the U.S.A. She had a fever and running nose at night on 4/20/2009. My wife, my mother and I brought my child, by taxi, to the emergency care of Women and Children’s Health Hospital of HuBei Province. Doctor Wang, female, diagnosed my child at 11:00 p.m. After some lab tests of my child’s blood, doctor Wang said that the child’s blood appearance was a little bit high, and it was caused by bacteria infection. The doctor asked us to take my child’s body temperature, and it was 39.6C. Doctor Wang said: “I will prescribe some medicine for her, (the child) needs 4 days of intravenous.” My wife asked: “4 days of intravenous”? Doctor Wang replied: “begin with two days of intravenous, and then bring her back for a recheck on the 3rd day, if her situation becomes serious then the child has to stay day and night in the hospital”. Then, the doctor prescribed two dosages of the same intravenous, but told us neither the time interval between the two intravenous, nor the side-effects of the prescribed intravenous.
In the morning of 4/21/2009, I fed my child her breakfast. Seeing she ate some steamed bread and drank some milk with good spirit, I felt relieved and then went to work. Then my child said that she had a painful leg, so my wife, my mother and my child’s aunt brought her to the same hospital again. They (the hospital doctor and nurses) did some ultrasonic inspection to her leg, but didn’t found anything wrong. At 11:00 p.m., they (my wife, my mother and my child’s aunt) bought another dosage of the intravenous prescribed by doctor Wang last night, and then the nurse administered the intravenous. During the intravenous, no nurse came over to monitor the child’s physiological reaction to the intravenous. At 12:00 afternoon, the intravenous was done, but the doctors and nurses didn’t tell my wife that my child should stay and be monitored in the hospital for a little while after the intravenous. Then my wife, my mother and my child’s aunt brought my child home by taxi. Before their taxi arrived home, I had already returned home after giving classes to my student at the university. As soon as they (my wife, my mother and my child’s aunt) brought my child into the door of my home, I found my child breathing desperately, trembling/jerking with dry lips. We immediately brought the child back to the hospital to the emergency room, but it took the taxi for about half an hour to arrive at the hospital.
Several nurses tried to rescue my child at the hospital for several minutes, then a doctor was called and came in. But the doctor said that the child had died. My wife and mother were devastated and wailing at the scene, then the doctor and nurses left promptly. I felt great pain and sorrow, and tried to talk to the leaders of the hospital for an answer. A doctor Ann and doctor Tan met me. They said: “the hospital is a place for people to die”, “in the situation like this, the president of the hospital never comes out to face the scene”. As far as I know, although a president may be very busy, but how could he show no mercy/concern for the patients who died of the hospital’s medical errors?
The hospital didn’t take any action until 6:30 p.m. Then it sent a person to put my child’s body in a refrigerator of a garbage house full of the bad and strong smell of medicine without any human guard.
My child died so quickly. We suspect that, it was the (intravenous) medicine or the procedure of the medicine preparation had problems. On April the 22nd and 23rd, we went to the hospital for two times, and tried to meet the leaders of the hospital for an answer. But the president of the hospital kept refusing to meet us, and only doctor Ann and Tan met us again.
In the noon time on 4/23/2009, doctor Ann telephoned us and said that the president of the hospital had agreed to me us at 2:30 p.m. When I arrived the hospital, doctor Ann said that the president had left for a meeting. Waiting for the president who never came, my family members were physically abused with force by several security guards of the hospital. The crowd of the bystanders intervened and stopped their physical abuses. A few minutes later, another group of the security guards armed with steel whips and steel tubes charged to my family members, and then beat them violently. The people were beaten including not only the uncles of my dead child but also the child’s grandpas and grandmas of old age. The most brutal and evil were the armed security guards, about 6 of them, beat one of my child’s uncles to the ground, and then dragged him away and then attacked his head, arms and legs with sticks, and left him with grave physical injuries. The violence of the security guards was so brutal, the crowd of the bystanders called the police. The violence lasted for about 10 minutes before it was stopped by the police and by the appearance of some journalists.
Now the body of my child is still kept in the refrigerator of the garbage house. And the hospital keeps refusing to offer any suggestion to settle its deadly medical error. The injured uncle and a grandpa of my child are now receiving medical treatments for their injuries in a hospital. The hospital that killed my child not only fails to offer any apologies and medical compensations to the injured, but even refuses to admit any violence committed by its security guards. The hospital still has not given any explanation to my child’s death.
My wife, my relatives and I are in great pain and grave sorrow for the death of my child, a 2 years and 5 months old, who was killed by the hospital with one single dose of the intravenous. The right action for the president of the hospital to take should have been to give an explanation to the fatal medical error and then offer a suggestion to settle the conflict. He does not have the conscience to do the right thing, but instructs his hospital’s security guards to do the evil under the Sun instead, beating my family members with steel tubes and injured seven of them with two being terribly injured. How could this type of brutal, inhuman and lawless violence happen in the people’s hospital built by the finance of the taxpayers? Mr. president of the hospital, where is the justice? Where is the law? Where is the morality of the medical doctors? Where is the morality of our society?
