A Jordanian woman claims a doctor left his mobile
phone in her abdomen after delivering her baby by
Caesarean section.
Hanan Mahmoud Abdul Karim, 36, was admitted to a
private hospital in Amman, Jordan, for the operation
on April 24th this year.
She claims that during the procedure, the doctor left
his mobile phone in her abdomen,Gulf News reports.
Her mother, Majeda Abdul Hamid, told local media
that her daughter gave birth to a 4.8kg boy (10.5 lbs)
and as all appeared to be well, she was sent home
from hospital.
But later, she claims her family noticed her stomach
vibrating and she began suffering terrible pain.
“My daughter suffered serious pains and could not
move,’ the mother is quoted as saying.
“I brought her back to the hospital where she was
treated but nothing was done for her.”
Hanan was then allegedly rushed to the casualty
department of Al Bashir public hospital, where X-
rays revealed there was a foreign object in her
abdomen, Daily Mail reports.
She claims surgeons quickly operated to remove the
phone.
Her case was brought up in the Jordanian
parliament, where parliament member Salim Al
Bataynah called on the Jordanian government to
resign as a result of the scandal.
