Few days ago, I posted an article about use of acid thinking it as water that caused acid burns. Yesterday, another incident of similar nature was reported in news papers wherein acid was applied to a pregnant lady assuming it as antiseptic in an hospital. It is reported that the baby boy delivered later died though there are conflicting reports about the time of death.
Hospital authorities suspect that
In the same news paper report, it is stated that earlier in other hospitals, i) a nurse used acid for swabbing instead of spirit before administering an injection and ii) a patient was given acid mistakenly instead of water.
It is observed that sometimes, incidents of similar nature like trapping of kids in the open bore wells, attack by jilted lovers on the girls, acid burns, etc are reported one after another in a short time. I don't know the reason for such pattern, whether such incidents occur regularly, but are reported during a period or incidents occur only during certain period
