In a shocking incident, a nurse at the Adoor Primary Health Center in Hanagal taluk, Haveri district, used Feviquick adhesive instead of stitching a deep wound on a 7-year-old boy’s cheek. The incident occurred on January 14 but only came to light later.The young boy, Gurukishan Annappa Hosamani, was rushed to the health centre after injuring his cheek while playing. His wound was serious, and it was bleeding heavily. However, instead of receiving proper medical treatment, the nurse, Jyoti, opted to apply Feviquick,instead of stitching the wound. Bengaluru transport officials seize Ferrari, BMW, Porsche, and other luxury cars for tax evasionWhen questioned about her unusual decision, Nurse Jyoti defended her actions by claiming that stitching the wound would have left a visible scar on the boy's cheek. She added, “I thought applying Feviquick would be a better solution, and if it didn’t work, we would have referred him for further treatment.”The boy's parents were understandably concerned about the treatment. They recorded a video of the nurse’s response and lodged a formal complaint with the Health Protection Committee of the Adoor Primary Health Center. The video showed the nurse admitting her use of Feviquick on the wound.
