TEEN STITCHED FOR 3 TIMES AFTER CHILD BIRTH

A TEENAGE mother was given over 100 stitches — some without anaesthetic — after giving birth to her first baby last Monday.
The 18-year-old went though the horrendous experience of being stitched three times — due to the use of wrong threads — after her baby boy was born naturally .
According to the report in China Press, the woman was stitched up by a lady doctor and a trainee doctor after giving birth. However, a medical officer later removed the stitches, saying the wrong threads had been used.
He then re-stitched her without anaesthetic.
Worse was to come when a doctor in charge announced that the thread used by the medical officer was also the wrong one, requiring the woman to go through another process of having the stitches opened and closed again with the right thread.
The woman also claimed that during the process, one of the doctors had accidentally injured her thigh causing her to suffer a three-inch cut.
The woman said due to her terrible experience, she now has phobia about getting pregnant again.
