Usually the PD will said that their eye or nose passage way is too narrow that why will be having tearing or nose problem. What do you mean by tongue is falling backwards.. Usually after birth, immediately baby will be sent for various test, if doc did not say baby suffering for any kind of disease then shld be ok.. so your baby now ok? If you hv worries, why dun you go to few baby clinics to check and see if the docs are saying the same thgs. |

im so sorry to hear about your situation. you should go and ask the doctors who treated your son at both hospitals to give you a detailed explaination and report on your son's condition and the reason why he passed on.
There must be a reason why and what he was suffering from. Keep pestering them for it if they do not give you a satisfactory reply. |

that's not an acceptable explaintaion. Keep asking them and demand an answer. They will have to give you a proper diagnosis.
if they say its a virus, they must tell you what type, and what are the complications and how they treated.
i know its hard to do, especially you are all grieving for the loss, but if not, you will not know the reason, and whether or not its neglience on the part of the doctor and hospital.
bring it up to the medical council of singapore if need be. or write in to someone of higher authority.
but demand to know. its your right to know what happened and why. |

no. they will have to explain what happened. even though they are treated the same, the results and reactions are different.
did they tell you what condition he has, and what caused the death. If they have not, they will have to explain that. |

Sorry to hear that.. since you cant get over it yet then you should request them to explain more in details and keep asking till you get satisfied answer.. Actually there shld be a reason cos KKH is quite "KS" as what i knw. A little bit problem they would demand you or baby to admit hospital immediately so guess you should ask more clearly. Moreover they have a lot of trainees doc there so... better for you or your hubby to find out more. |

try writing to the forum page and different newspapers. think if it comes out in the papers, the hospital "big shots" will have to contact you and give you a response.
make sure that its not due to negligence that it occured.
did they inform you of the risks that occurs with the operation? and what the operation is for? |

yeni, i really feel for you. im so sorry that you have to go through this. its really very traumatic, and what makes it worse is that they are not giving you a proper answer for closure.
they owe you a proper explanation and document the events leading to the situation.
even though they say that the baby got a virus, they have to prove it. the cultures they took should be able to give an answer. don't accept an answer of "we are not able to culture anything" coz if that's the case, are they really sure the baby got an infection. or are they trying to cover up something with that answer.
he was born healthy. this should not have happened! especially when the doctor said its a small procedure.
i know nothing can bring back your little precious. but at least knowing the answer can bring some closure. |

im not sure about that coz very hard to prove. maybe can bring it up to the head of the hospital and demand an explaination. if no reply from them, write in to the papers. coz i notice they will reply very fast once in the papers |

Dear Yeni,
Like tubtub mentioned above, maybe getting some media attention on this case will help? You can try writing your story to STOMP website too or call up Wan Bao/Xin Ming to get someone to do a writeup. Lots of people view this website and hopefully, someone will be able to respond and help you. |

I am sorry to hear abt your son. Be strong and seek second opinion (talk to the HOD and threathen to go to the top level / press if no conclusion). Important to find out the cause. Else no closure, and you may never be able to move on... |

hi yeni.
all the best tomorrow. do write down a list of the things you want them to answer tom. coz usually tend to forget when they give you their medical answers. make sure that they give you the answers in black and white. so that in the event that you need to sue them, you have evidence. make them prove everything that they say.
especially when they say that he had a virus. make them prove it. if they can't, then ask them how sure are they that it is a virus. and if it is, ask them how did he catch it. is it from a nurse or a doctor or another patient. ask them how come their hygenie level is so terrible. also ask them how their surgery steps are. make sure its not a mistake in their surgery. or any medication that they gave him. |

hello yeni, our heart goes out to you and your family. As the mummies have suggested, make sure that no stones are left unturn ...demand a detailed report/ diagnosis from the day bb was admitted what they did? what did they fed(medication?) him with? Besides smc, you may also want to inform Ministry Of Health, (bring up to your MP for his assistance to escalate the case to the Board of KK, MOH etc) once you have obtained all the details.
We emphathise with the pain and frustration you and your family are going through, please be strong for the findings, do not give up!!
we mummies want the truth!!! |

Hi yeni,
sorry about your loss and i hope that time can heal the pain and sadness in you and your family.
I don't think going to the press,media or even MP can push both hospitals to react that well, they will just tell politically correct answers as they would want to protect their doctors and hospital reputation.
I think if you can afford, seek some consultation from some lawyers. They know the law better and can help you pursue further to get the answers you want. Legal action ususally can force those people to think twice when they talk to people like us, they wouldn't dare to lie cos they have to prove everything they say.
And don't worry, you can always pop online to get support/advise and help from us mummies here when u encounter any problem. I'm sure everybody will be most glad to help u.
Jia You!  |

Yeni,
I hope you're feeling better and that the case has had some headway as well.
In a way I do understand how you feel because I had a similar experience with my MIL who was warded due to stroke, was recovering then suddenly worsened due to some virus and then passed away suddenly a few days thereafter.
If to date there is still no good reasoning, please raise the issue to Karen Tan, the Quality Service Manager for MOH. Each ministry has a QSM in place and if you feel in any way that this is a lack of quality care, write in or call her (1800 225 4122) (URL: http://www.moh.gov.sg/mohcorp/about.aspx?id=126). The QSM's job is precisely to investigate into such matters and provide improvements. |

Hi Yeni,
I am very sorry to hear about your story!
I think most of doc will say it is due to "virus" if they don't know what is the cause!
Try to ask for detail report. For blood culture, it can only detect bacteria infection and it will not give you anything further for virus type.
Do they perform any lab test to prove that it is virus and what is the indentity of the virus!?
As bacteria and virus are all over the place, it will unlikely be a life threating cause but secondary. |

dear yeni
i dun hv anything concrete, just some thoughts to share...
is that all the doctor said? did they offer any kind of further explanation or a place or someone from higher authority to address yr concern?
if i follow your thread correctly, your baby was born in TMC? and then later went to KKH to seek medical attention...
thus it may not be easy to proof that the virus was contracted from either one place.
would it be helpful to know if this virus is common among babies?
- is it airborne and bb was likely to catch from situation of cross infection when in the nursery or from hospital personnel or visitors (do the nursery allows parents and family to enter the nursery? not forgeting cleaners also enter the nursery to do cleaning?)
- whether it can be contracted from mother during preg or childbirth? (so maybe was passed around by the other babies?)
then whether the hosp is willing to share if there were other babies treated for the same virus or not is another question.
some of the mommies here suggested talking to the medical board... have u spoken to them yet? |

finally the final report of the autopsy came out which is state the 1st cause of death is herpes simplex type 1 and second is partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection ( this sickness is congenital heart) and the symptom are look like the symptom which my baby got ( difficult breathing, short of breath, and difficult feeding) but i wondering why after my baby staed in KKH for 2 weeks the doctors cant find my baby sickness and just concern about his nose which is not his main problem ( coz his problem is in his heart, and i dont know until the autopsy report come out ). |

yeni> i know that nothing will bring your son back and i know that it may be very frustrating and taxing to even continue to pursue the case. However, i feel for the sake of making sure these doctors don't just treat life unseriously especially our little babies, it will be good for you to write in to the media immediately.
It seems like you have a lot of evidence to show that there is definitely error and inconsistency by the hospital. I suggest you can type everything out and sent it out through email to all the media sources so that your story will be consistent and they can't say that you're making things up. At least, it will make these doctors/hospital be more responsible with such other cases so that your son's life will not be in vain. It's already been 6 mths ago and if you should bring it up to the media as soon as possible. Of course, if you decide that you are tired and need closure and do not wish to pursue the case, i understand too.
take care k. |

Dear Yeni
I'm sorry for your loss.
I suggest you write in to the Health Minister, MOH, KKH and TMC. Just 1 letter to all the parties. SMC only deals with specific doctors. Unless you are certain u want them to investigate into a particular doctor's conduct, then you should also write in to SMC. I suggest everything be written down in black and white and state that you want their reply in writing. This way, you will have evidence of everything they say. I hope this helps. Keeping you and your family in my prayers. |

Dear Yeni,
I'm so so terribly sorry for your loss... Please write in to the newspaper (新明, 晚报, 联合早报, straits times) and post online n circulate it etc any media u can think of!!
i had a v bad exp w kkh for my first pregnancy too and wrote in a complaint letter. only when i threaten to send the same letter to MOH then they deliver a bouquet of flowers and a hand-signed apology letter to my house but that is rubbish.
what we want is truth and justice! |

hi yeni,
very sorry for your lost, please take care and be strong
if it's a heart problem, the pd should have alerted from beginning, as they will do thorough check up on the baby, how could they miss out such an important details? somemore they did notice that the baby was having a difficulty in breathing, how would they decide to do a small operation without briefing the parents about the risk?
i think you really should chase the doctor for an explanation because he owes you one!
it's also very weird if the hospital staffs have treated you differently just because you're not a singaporean, they should treat people equally regarding race, nationality, financial status, btw, one of my hubby's coll's baby also passed away during delivery at kkh, they're not a singaporean also... |

Hi Yeni
Sorry to hear about your loss. Hows your case now? May i know who is your PD in TMC? They shd do a thorough body check on the bb when he is born.
My son is also born in TMC. He got a bad flu when he was only 2 weeks old and keeps sneezing and he went thru a mucus test and found out to have catch a superbug. My PD gave him antibiotics at such young age. I felt v sad too then and can understand how you feel. My son is well now and 4 mths nw.
I think you shd get to the bottom of this matter. You have our support. |

Hi Yeni,
I feel very sad about what happened to your baby ... 
Sometimes in life, terrible things happened
and we dun get closure
leaving us deeply hurt and hateful.
Something terrible happened in my life too ...
so tragic that I went into a psychological shock that caused my body to 'mutate' ...
Lost my fingernails,
did not get my period for 18 mths although Im far from menopause.
Well, life sucks when tragic strikes ...
If those irresponaible people think they can get away with their hideous act,
then they dun understand what is called karma.
A friend once told me
no one will cry for me if I were to commit suicide
Maybe they will drop a tear at the funeral
but after a while,
NO ONE will feel sorry for me.
But I am dead and they are alive and kicking...
Those people are maybe having a good time
but you are suffering ...
Why continue to make yourself suffer this way?
After you have done your best
in getting justice and answers for your darling bb, drop this and move on ...
No one can forget what has happened
But one can choose to recall only happy moments.
May your baby be well and happy in wherever he is now. |

Hi yeni,
Really sorry to hear that your child died.
Have you gotten a answer?
When you went back to TMC, was it for a routine checkup for baby? As far as I know and I have 2 children, you do not need to go back to TMC unless it is for jaundice check or a retest of the hearing. Therefore, if they had scheduled you to go back not for these reasons, you might want to demand an answer from TMC too as it could be due to their neglience as well. |

Hi Yeni,
I hope you are doing well. I have lost my baby boy in 2008, had him with me for 4 1/2 months. I understand very well how it feels to lose your baby.
I hope KKH has gotten back to you with a VERY GOOD explanation.
When my son was staying there, there were some questions that we asked & couldn't get a satisfactory answer. We went to the customer service office & made noise demanding answers if not we would go to the media. After that, they immediately arranged for a meeting with all the doctors & nurses involved & answered all our questions.
I really hope you are well, the journey to recovery is not easy.....let's take small steps to get there.
I'm now a mother of 3 - 1 in heaven & 2 on earth. |
