Parents of 10-week-old Edwin Timothy Sihombing reluctantly accepted the result of mediation with the hospital previously accused of negligence that led to the amputation of the baby's forefinger.
'I am not really satisfied with the result, but I have to accept it. As parents, we want the best solution for our baby,' Edwin's father, Gonti Laurel Sihombing, 34, said late on Wednesday.
Your comments:
The parents should hire an honest lawyer and file a lawsuit against the Jakarta Health Agency and the doctors association.
The parents may have released the hospital by signing tricky hospital forms but the above cited are not part of this and parents should go after them to pay compensation for the loss of the finger and the health agency/doctors association willfully neglecting this compensation fact and helping the hospital to get off the hook.
It's a lifelong handicap and let these two professional bodies bear the consequences.
