The locality where he was bitten would also be very important. We need not ever mention the patients name but the facts should not be lost. Any other information from the boy regarding the incident and how he felt at what stage would be important. Please try your best!
BV I unfortunately won't be able to get the info. I tried my best, but unfortunately I'm just a "normal member of the public". It just so happened that I was in the ward with my boy who underwent an operation, when this youngster (aged 7) came in.
I briefly spoke to his parents, but they were so shocked that I don't think they heard anything I said. I tried making contact again, but to no avail. I'll keep on trying though ...
I sent a message to a friend of a friend who knows the youngster (apparently their child is in the same class), asking as to how the youngster is doing (the Hospital won't release any info as I'm not family). I'm still awaiting a reply .
