Accidents happen, but...

Yes, this happened in Ireland, but from my perspective, it could be anywhere in the world, even in the United States. Accidents happen and sometimes they're sad. The most damning part of this case is what the mother said about the incident, "No one came near us. Sam was getting more and more upset, crying and screaming, but no one in the hospital came back to us."

I am saddened by the heartless attitude this comment portrays. In a better world, the hospital staff would have been "all over the frightened child" and would have been doing everything to comfort the distraught parents.

I miss that kind of medicine.
