The Cebuanos want nothing from them
but the simple truth to enlighten us if it is true that they committed some
lapses in their medical practice related to child care, then they should be
honest enough to accept their mistake and they should make a vow never to do it
again. That's all what the Cebuanos need from them. We do not need the
circuitous reasoning of a lawyer for it will only confuse us the more! Instead
of giving us a solution it will only add to the confusion and create more
problems! The hospital executives should be honest enough to the people they
are supposed to serve.
With all due respect to lawyer
Cornelio Mercado, legal counsel of CPCMH
(Cebu Puericulture Center and Maternity House), this case is already an open
book as far as the city residents are concerned and what the public wants to
know is to have the side of the hospital where the gagging of a 5-day-old
infant took place. It was the public's understanding that the nurse involved
did it to the infant to silence him from crying, which is, from the view point of
many, an inhuman act considering the delicate mouth and the surrounding skin of
the infant to be taped like that. And for the simple reason that the nurse
wants to silence him because she finds the noise created was so irritating to
her ears?!
By demanding a sworn statement from
the parents you simply put your profession on the spot for bringing that kind
of indifference and unconcerned reaction which is probably calculated to
intimidate the parents for whatever legal action you might have in mind to file against them? What more do you need when the
picture itself speaks louder than words?
