Mother claims doctors missed newborn's painful condition, leading to 13 weeks of suffering.
A mother, Demi-Leigh Hughes, claims her newborn daughter, Isabella, suffered from intense pain for 13 weeks due to a condition called anterior anus, which was missed by doctors. Isabella, who was born five weeks early, had to rely on laxatives and endured constant crying until the condition was diagnosed. Hughes criticizes the hospital’s neonatal doctors for missing it during initial checks and calls for better training. The hospital acknowledged the distress and offered support, noting the condition isn't always detectable at newborn check-ups.
