A baby was bitten by a rodent that managed to crawl into an incubator, police in Belize said.
A video
of the incident, which was uploaded to the Internet, shows frantic
nurses trying to take the rat out of the incubator after having bitten a
premature baby.
One staff member at the Western Regional Hospital in Belize,
attempted to use a broom to remove the rodent from hiding in the sterile
crib.
After a failed attempt, a nurse grabbed the tail of the rat with her
hands and removed it. The nurse then used the broomstick to kill the
rat.
A hospital spokesperson said that the rat may have entered the room
through air condition vents. The Minister of Health sent inspectors to
the hospital, and demanded a full investigation into the management.
