<Anchor> A



10-month-old baby suffered severe burns, and there was a regrettable story that he could not find a hospital for outpatient treatment because he was classified as a corona 19 self-quarantine.

After hearing this news, a doctor at a burn hospital gave an urgent treatment in an ambulance, and it is pointed out that a tighter system should be established rather than relying on such measures.



Reporter Min Kyung-ho reports.

Kang Mo, who was notified of Corona 19 on the 14th.



While waiting for the transfer to the treatment facility, a big deal broke out with a 10-month-old child.




The hot water spilled and burned the child's face and arm.



[Mr. Kang Mo/Child's father: The child was just crawling and picking something up, but the child got burned, so call 911 through the Buryaburya Public Health Center...

.] I



tried to get hospitalized after first aid, but it was difficult to find a place to accept a child classified as self-isolation.



[Mr. Kang/Father of child: (The child) received a corona test and cannot be hospitalized because the test result did not come out (they said.)] In a



hurry, I asked for help on the Internet community site and contacted a doctor at a local burn hospital Arrived.



It was Kim Young-min, the director of the burn surgery clinic.



Director Kim accompanied the health center epidemiological investigator and treated the child in a Level D protective suit in an ambulance.



[Kim Young-min/Director of Burn Surgery Clinic: It was only in the state of emergency treatment, and it was determined that additional dressings (wound treatment) would be needed...

.]



Fortunately, the child was admitted to another burn hospital, but the problem of emergency patients subject to self-isolation emerged as a homework.



[Kim Young-min/Director of Burn Surgery: For example, if you have appendicitis or peritonitis…

Patients like this can definitely occur during self-isolation.

Such patients are actually in a state that is impossible (treatment) in this way.] Although the



hospital's homepage was paralyzed, public interest and thanks were flooded, but Director Kim turned his attention to the front line medical staff fighting the corona.



[Kim Young-min/Director of Burn Surgery Clinic: The medical staff are having a hard time, but people around me compliment them for going and treating the child...

It's a very embarrassing situation...
