Uproar after Bungoma Doctor Reveals He intentionally Extracted Boy First During C- Section.
Uproar after Bungoma Doctor Reveals He intentionally Extracted Boy First During C- Section: A popular medical doctor has left netizens mouths open after making a controversial tweet immediately after performing a successful caesarian section (C-Section).
Mbiti Mwondi, who is popular on social media site X, left the internet in outrage after revealing that he had just performed a C-Section on a mother (carrying a boy and a girl) and confessing to having intentionally extracted the baby boy first so that ‘he’d be called the elder of the two’.
In a tweet which left many astonished, Mwondi confessed that his choice to give the baby boy the first birth preference was based on his desire to root for the ‘boy child.
He tweeted,”A few minutes ago 2:00 am in theatre via CS, I just extracted the most beautiful twins I have ever seen; a boy and girl. I intentionally extracted the baby boy first so that he’d be called the elder one of the two. Boy child for boy child. Couldn’t help but ask the mum to consent…”
The tweet has since been labelled highly inappropriate, especially for a doctor, seeing that he not only confessed to having practised a potential ethical malpractice but had also not just attached a photo of the newborns but also injected a rather biased opinion on a baby he helped bring to the world.
Some Netizens Reacted;
Dr. Yusuf Mahat said, “You can’t possibly choose who to extract first. You always start with the presenting twin. Reaching out to extract a boy who might be far away can cause serious maternal-foetal harm.”
He added, “Let’s be cautious and maintain the dignity of our profession. Especially now that there’s turmoil! Choosing who to extract first is not a MEDICAL decision. Sad!”
