A Vietnamese family suffered an unspeakable tragedy after staff at a South Korean hospital allegedly mixed up the mother’s chart with another patient and performed an abortion while she was under anesthesia.
According to The Korea Times, the mother, who is not named in reports, was six weeks pregnant when she and her husband visited the Seoul hospital in early August for a confirmation of her pregnancy and prenatal care.
After confirming the pregnancy, hospital staff recommended a nutritional supplement. While she was waiting for it, however, a nurse and doctor allegedly mixed up her chart with that of another pregnant patient which ultimately had deadly consequences. The Times reports:
"It was confirmed that she was six weeks pregnant, and she was told she needed an IV solution for better nutrition.
"When she was waiting for the IV, a nurse came with the wrong patient’s chart which was for a woman who needed surgery for a missed miscarriage, in which the fetus had died but not yet been miscarried. Without confirming the woman’s identity, the nurse injected her with an anesthetic drug instead of placing her on an IV.
"As she fell asleep, a gynecologist then conducted the surgery, also failing to check the patient’s charts."
The mother reported she began to bleed when after returning home. She tried to call the hospital but was told that the doctor had left for the day. When the bleeding still hadn’t stopped the next day, the mother returned to the hospital where a different doctor gave her a check-up and informed her that her baby had been aborted.
Seoul Gangseo Police told ABC News that the doctor and nurse admitted their mistake, but may only face limited charges of professional negligence rather than abortion without consent.

These Keystone medical staffers should lose their licenses and privileges.
PING!
The responsible staff should be publicly executed.
Obamacare.
Korea my bad
oops.
I hate to sound negative but I don’t know if the mother will ever be the same.
I guess time heals all wounds enough to carry on.
I can’t image how horrible the victim parents must feel. I hope they can recover, and have children in the future.
You know, the left is against capital punishment - if it puts to death but ONE innocent person.
Shouldn’t the left be against abortion - here it clearly has put to death an innocent life?
A typical K-Drama plot is a hospital screwing up big time, and then for the rest of the drama to cover it up.
All aborted children are innocent so the Left chooses to redefine children.
Execute them.
Bttt
