Little girl dies after hand amputation resulting from untreated clot

According to Saudi newspaper report, Sakina Ali Al Muhanna died on Sunday, August 9, after doctors amputated part of her hand which suffered from a clot due to needle mishandling by a medical team treating her in Saudi Arabia. She was admitted to hospital in the eastern province of Qateef with lung illness and doctors tried to give her an intravenous injection.

“After several abortive attempts to fix the needle, the child suffered from a clot in her hand,” Sabq Daily said.
