A 15-year-old girl from Hong Kong was left half-paralyzed after doctors from the United Christian Hospital in Kwun Tong of New Kowloon were suspected of medical malpractice during a procedure. The girl now remains in Queen Elizabeth Hospital where she was transferred since doctors in United Christian Hospital didn’t have any specialists in cardiothoracic surgery. A Hospital Authority spokesman mentioned that doctors from the United Christian Hospital explained to the girl’s family the procedure was high-risk, yet was done with the family’s consent. Thus far, the girl has underwent three brain surgeries to reduce pressure inside her skull, but due to the stroke, still remains partially paralyzed. Meanwhile, her family remains in search of justice.
