<Anchor> In
a university hospital, a 9-month-old baby was incorrectly administered an 'adult anticonvulsant' instead of lactic acid bacteria. The medication was changed due to a nurse's mistake, and the hospital's attitude was absurd even after the medication accident.
Reporter Hong Seung-yeon covered the information.

On the 15th of last month, Mr. A visited a university hospital after his 9-month-old daughter showed symptoms of high fever.
The baby was hospitalized after being diagnosed with enteritis, and I was a little puzzled about the medicines provided.
[Mom A: When I saw the pills, I clearly asked again that the baby couldn't take the pills, and the nurse said, 'You can cut the pills in half like this and feed them in powder'... .]
I took the medicine as instructed by the nurse, and after a while I was told that the medicine had been changed by mistake.
[Mom A: Please tell me exactly what drug has been changed. When I said this, 'It is another patient's drug, but an anticonvulsant was added'.]
This anticonvulsant drug is prescribed when convulsions occur in the body due to brain abnormalities. , It is not recommended for use in children under 12 years of age.
After taking the medicine, the baby showed symptoms such as trouble sleeping and sagging overnight.
Fortunately, there are currently no other abnormalities, but the situation is unsettling.
[Doctor (Professor of Medical School): There are various unproven and unproven side effects that people who are growing up fear, so you shouldn't use them anymore.
That's how cautions come out.]
Mr. A suffered a greater heartache from the hospital's response.
The doctor in charge showed up in 14 hours, explained the specific situation, and told me to file a lawsuit if there were any side effects.
[Mom A: There may be side effects in the future, so what are you going to do?
Right now, the only thing the hospital can do is observe and watch the progress...
.] When the
coverage began, the hospital said it was very sorry about the medication accident, and said that it would re-examine the in-hospital medication system and do its best to recover the victim.
