A Jordanian gynaecologist is alleged to have accidentally left his cell
phone in his patient’s abdomen during a Caesarean section section in
April this year.
Hanan Mahmoud Abdul Karim, 36, was admitted to a private hospital in
Amman for the operation on April 24, according to the Jordanian media.
During the procedure, the gynaecologist somehow misplaced his mobile
phone in the woman’s abdomen.
Majeda Abdul Hamid, the patient’s mother, told the media that after
Hanan gave birth to a 4.8 kilogram baby boy she was discharged from
hospital, and later the family started noticing her abdomen vibrating.
“My daughter suffered serious pains and could not move. I brought her
back to the hospital where she was treated but nothing was done for
her,” the mother was quoted as saying.
Hanan was then admitted to the casualty department of Al Bashir public
hospital in Amman where X-rays revealed a foreign object in her abdomen.
Physicians in Al Bashir hospital operated on Hanan and removed the
phone.
Hanan’s case echoed in the Jordanian parliament, where the parliament
member Salim Al Bataynah urged the Jordanian government to resign as a
result of this scandal. “In countries which show respect to their
nations, and following such scandals, governments usually resign,” he
was quoted as saying. “The parliament should show responsibility and be
on the level of the case.”
