Hanan Mahmoud Abdul Karim,
36, was admitted to a private hospital in Amman for a Caesarean section in April
24, during the procedure, the gynecologist somehow misplaced his mobile phone
in the woman’s abdomen.
The patient’s mother, Majeda
Abdul Hamid, told the media that after Hanan gave birth to a 4.8 kilogram baby
boy she was discharged from hospital, and later the family started noticing her
abdomen vibrating.
“My daughter suffered
serious pains and could not move. I brought her back to the hospital where she
was treated but nothing was done for her,” the mother was quoted as saying.
Fast-forward, Hanan X-rays
revealed a foreign object in her abdomen. Physicians in Al Bashir hospital
operated on Hanan and removed the phone.
Hanan’s case echoed in the
Jordanian parliament, where the parliament member Salim Al Bataynah urged the
Jordanian government to resign as a result of this scandal. “In countries which
show respect to their nations, and following such scandals, governments usually
resign,” he was quoted as saying. “The parliament should show responsibility
and be on the level of the case.”
