A Thailand hospital apologises after an assistant nurse uses scissors during a discharge procedure and accidentally cuts part of a toddler’s finger. The incident is reported to have occurred at Loengnoktha Crown Prince Hospital, where the nurse was trying to remove gauze dressing from the child’s hand.
According to accounts from multiple outlets, the child is about one year old and the injury involves the right index finger. The Mirror describes the nurse as an assistant nurse using scissors to remove a dressing, while the other reports characterize the event as an “accident” and reference the hospital’s apology after confirming details.
The sources align on the location, the involvement of scissors, the medical context of a discharge-related procedure, and that the hospital expresses regret. However, they differ slightly in wording—for example, whether the nurse “cuts off” or “snips” part of the finger—while still describing the same underlying event and injury.
