According to local media such as China Dotcom, a 5-year-old boy who was admitted to a hospital's pediatrician in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China, was incorrectly listed as a 'marriage'.
The child's parents posted online with a photo, saying that the child was discharged three days after hospitalization, and that the document's marital status was marked with 'Girrenity'.
The hospital, which received the complaint, admitted that it had been misstated and said it would correct it.
But netizens are asking "How can a five-year-old get married?", criticizing the hospital's easy administrative system.
Also "If even the basic information is wrong, how reliable can it be to plan diagnosis and treatment?Some point out that ".
One legal expert noted that "clear errors in the issuance of discharge records by hospitals not only affect the accuracy of patients' personal information, but also cause unnecessary problems in patients' medical records and insurance claims in the future."The hospital must ensure that the same mistake does not recur and may have to apologize or provide compensation to the patient and his or her family," he said.
