Calls for the NSW and Federal Health Ministers to resign have followed revelations of a scandalous incident at Broken Hill Hospital in which a mother was given the wrong baby to breastfeed, for 5 minutes.
The woman given the child in the very early hours of the morning noticed it wasn’t hers and altered hospital staff.
“I was totally disgusted. I mean, it saw me half starkers. It even touched my nipple.”
The woman, who prefers to remain anonymous until she has spoken to A Current Affair, has demanded an apology from the Governor-General.
The nurse has been counselled and procedures reviewed to ensure this atrocious infringement of human rights can never been repeated.
The baby was unavailable for comment but was said to be considering all its options.
In what authorities claim is an “unrelated incident”, two visitors to the hospital cafeteria were allegedly given the wrong meals.
“We was here visiting me mother who was gettin the boils under her back fat squeezed out and we got real hungry. I ordered lasagne n chips and Josie aksed for chicken schnitzel, chips n salad”, said Bevania Slap.
“When they handed us the tray the lasagne had the salad on it and I hate salad. It’s todally unaccepal”, she added.
Ms Slap has not ruled out legal action.
