--------------------------------------------
The fallout from the police search and seizure at Ajou University Hospital's Specialized Pediatric Emergency Medical Center is growing.
Last July, a 4-month-old infant of Uzbek nationality developed cyanosis and low oxygen saturation during an outpatient visit at Ajou University Hospital and was transferred to the pediatric emergency center. Despite more than an hour of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), the baby passed away. Immediately after the child's death, the parents called 112 and filed a complaint against the medical staff, leading police to conduct a search and seizure at the Ajou University Hospital pediatric emergency room on September 30.
As criticisms mount over whether executing a search and seizure in a pediatric emergency room where every second counts is justified, the hospital and the police are sharply at odds.
Concerns over a vacuum in pediatric medical care are escalating further as pediatric emergency physicians are consecutively submitting their resignations.
We take a closer look at the essence and impact of this incident.
