Online user Rye Kido posted in Facebook the 'hurtful' experience their 5-day old baby got while in the nursery of Cebu Maternity Hospital.
He related that when his wife Jasmine checked their baby boy in the nursery at 8:00 PM of May 9, "she found our baby gagged w/ tape covered over his mouth. This is not even close to being professional or humane."
"Jasmine immediately asked the attending nurse 'why is there tape over his mouth?' and the reply she got from the nurse was 'your baby was TOO NOISY (crying) so i put that over his mouth....'"
"It was discovered by Jasmine that our baby had peed his diaper!!! was there just NO TIME to check that? do you just put tape over a baby's mouth, just because he's too noisy? did you take time to inspect and do your job properly? ARE YOU RESPECTABLE???," he added.
"When the nurse was asked to take off the tape over his mouth, the respond was "you can go ahead and take it off yourself, maam" after Jasmine tried to take the plaster tape off his mouth without success, the attending nurse had to eventually take it off herself and eventually do it and in the process a piece of his upper lip's skin ripped off with the tape as the nurse removed the tape."
They reported incident immediately to their INFORMATION DESK, and they were instructed not to delete the pictures (uhhh duhh of course not) so that they can present them to the Chief Nurse of Maternity Hospital."
The hospital is now investigating the incident, and the complainants are now contemplating on filing cases against the nurse. [via Source]
