Surprisingly, it was delayed due to face saving issues! The mortality rate of this disease is nearly 100%, and a 7-year-old boy died

Nowadays, more and more people are keeping dogs

Once scratched or bitten by a dog

But never be careless

If not treated in a timely manner

May lead to irreparable tragedy!

According to the "Urban Report" program of Henan TV, a 7-year-old boy in Shangqiu, Henan Province, passed away after being scratched by his neighbor's dog and not receiving rabies vaccine in time, which is heartbreaking. Afterwards, the mother's face was filled with tears and she admitted that she was responsible for saving face and harming her child.

Originally, on the day of the incident, after her son was scratched, Ms. Wang, the mother, took her son to the hospital to get vaccinated against rabies. At the hospital, she met a neighbor who told her that the dog was fine. She felt like she had to get an injection like a fake person, so she didn't get it. She thought she would get it after returning to Zhejiang. However, when she brought her son back to Zhejiang, he developed symptoms of fever and fear of water.

Ms. Wang said that when the child initially said he was uncomfortable, she thought it was an excuse he made to avoid going to school. It wasn't until one day when her son was lying down and suddenly bounced up like a robot that she realized something had happened.

Upon further examination at the hospital, my son was diagnosed with rabies. Ms. Wang took her son to multiple hospitals in Zhejiang and Shanghai for treatment, but she still couldn't save his life. Ms. Wang returned to her hometown in Yucheng, Shangqiu, Henan to negotiate with her neighbors. However, the neighbors said, "If you want money, you only need ten thousand yuan." This made her very uncomfortable and dissatisfied, and she had to resort to legal means to solve the problem.

Ms. Wang bears 30% responsibility

Neighbor Chu bears 70% of the responsibility

The media reporter followed Ms. Wang to her neighbor's house, but the neighbor claimed that it was not her dog who caught Ms. Wang's son. "Who saw that it was our dog who caught it?" The neighbor also said to his face, "The dog is not a problem, it has been sold and sold. I disagree. Let's wait for the judgment of the Intermediate People's Court.".

News coverage after online dissemination

Quickly sparked heated discussions among netizens

Many netizens feel that the child's death

This mother herself also has a responsibility

"I'm not afraid of ten thousand, I'm just afraid of the unexpected..."

Why not fight if you're afraid of being mistaken? Is face so important? "

Some netizens also believe that

If it's because we're afraid our neighbors might think we're blackmailing

You can pay out of your own pocket

"To put it simply, I still hold onto a lucky mentality."

After all, it's still a human error

The dog owner did not vaccinate the dog

Dogs hurt people but are unwilling to take responsibility

"The mother doesn't value it and is ignorant..."

Actually,

After being scratched by a dog, due to lack of timely treatment

Eventually contracted rabies and passed away

This is not the first time it has happened

On April 11th of this year, an 8-year-old boy in Guangxi was scratched on the back of his right hand by a dog, and his family did not take appropriate measures. That night, the dog had died. Five days later, the boy developed symptoms such as fever and limb tremors, and was hospitalized at the local county hospital for treatment. He was diagnosed with rabies and ultimately died due to ineffective rescue efforts. From being bitten by a dog to falling ill and dying, it only takes 20 days, which is extremely heartbreaking.

According to data from the World Health Organization, approximately 55000 people die from rabies worldwide each year, with an average of one person dying from rabies every 10 minutes. China is also one of the countries most severely affected by rabies. Although the incidence rate of this disease is very low, once it occurs, the mortality rate is nearly 100%. Timely vaccination against rabies after being bitten by cats and dogs is still the most effective way to prevent rabies at present.

The correct approach

Immediately go to the dog injury clinic at the hospital for emergency treatment. Rinse the wound continuously with flowing water or soapy water for at least 15 minutes. If possible, it is best to disinfect the wound with iodine after rinsing.

After treatment, inject the rabies vaccine according to the doctor's advice. Do not sew, bandage, or apply ointment on the injured area on your own. Do not hold onto a lucky mentality and do not go to the hospital. It is emphasized that in order to ensure immune efficacy, patients should go to the dog injury clinic of a regular hospital for treatment and vaccination.
