Yuen, a 5-year-old girl with congenital bile duct occlusion, suffered a cardiac arrest following undergoing bile duct surgery at Queen Mary Hospital in December 2017. His condition has recently deteriorated once more, and he has liver failure and must be admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Her father filed a claim with the Hospital Authority in the district hospital last Friday (27th), but the petition did not mention the specific amount. The court has set an arraignment on November 9.
The plaintiff is Su Yuen’s father and guardian Su Hengchang, and the defendant is the Hospital Authority. According to the petition, on December 8, 2017, Queen Mary Hospital caused losses to the plaintiff due to negligence and violation of statutory responsibilities, so it filed a petition with the court for compensation from the other party.
According to the data, the last time Xiao Yuen’s parents updated their Facebook page was on the 26th of this month, and the post mentioned that Yuen’s “liver condition is still deteriorating, and all the treatments that can be done in the ICU have been done, but the treatment of toxins and blood clotting has been done. Poor function, there may be sudden cerebral hemorrhage or coma and leave.”
