A ONE-WEEK-OLD boy was given 189 tests, including tests for HIV and syphilis in a hospital in Guangdong Province after being ill since birth, his father told Southern Metropolis Daily newspaper yesterday.
Lei Xu spent nearly 6,000 yuan (US$885.89) on his son's 189 tests in three days at the children's medical center in Guangzhou, Guangdong's capital city. Now the baby was at home, the report said.
Lei's son was born on June 27 in Guangzhou's Panyu District, with neonatal disorders including pneumonia, hemorrhagic disease and jaundice.
He sent the baby to the children's medical center, which was unnamed in the report, on July 2 where he was told to sign documents to get treatment.
On July 5, the hospital told him the baby needed a blood transfusion, but Lei learned from other hospitals that it was normally unnecessary to do this for a patient like his baby.
Lei said he felt cheated.
