A pregnant woman jumped to her death on Monday morning in a hospital in Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong Province after hearing that her 8-month fetus might be deformed.
Feng Bixia, 35, suffered eczema in April and a prenatal diagnosis conducted at the Baiyuan District Red Cross Hospital showed her fetus has a high risk of deformity due to her disease. Feng felt devastated and jumped from the seventh floor of the hospital, a local newspaper reported today.
"The doctors kept telling my wife that the baby might have deformity and urged us to go to a bigger hospital," Feng's husband He Zhihong told the New Express. "She became silent and cried at night after hearing this."
The hospital insisted that they did nothing wrong to inform patients of undesirable consequences. But some people think doctors should tell truth to patients in an appropriate manner.
