A terrible medical error? On December 31, a boy, Ryad, and his mother, Nadia, showed up at the Bezannes polyclinic, near Reims. The 15-year-old suffers a double fracture in his left leg… but he comes out with a simple temporary cast and painkillers.
As protocol dictates, doctors are asking the boy’s mother to fast in preparation for surgery the next day.
“Except that the next morning, no call, nothing,” Nadia says into the BFMTV microphone. “I call them back and they tell me that there is no one with that name and that there is no planned blockade a priori.”
“A skin that macerated for three days”
With no response from the establishment and given Ryad’s deterioration, Nadia decides to take him to another hospital, the Reims University Hospital. And doctors note the seriousness of the situation.
“They open the plaster, and they see skin that has macerated for three days: blisters, pus, blood,” says the boy’s mother.
Ryad’s fracture got infected under the cast – you risk amputation. For her mother it is shock and misunderstanding. She is now waiting for answers from the polyclinic.
“What didn’t you take the time to do? Or did you bother to do?” she asks. “Okay, there are no doctors, okay, it’s New Year’s Day, but at least tell me.”
Ryad is currently in stable condition. Contacted, the management of the Bezannes polyclinic did not want to answer our questions.
