She alleged medics informed her that a surgical needle had broken while they were suturing her. Attempts to locate the shattered needle component were unsuccessful.
"Nilipata delivery ya mtoto vizuri, lakini nikishonwa nikaambiwa sindano ya daktari imekatika, Akaniambia ajaribu kuguza guza mahali alikuwa anashona nimwambie kama naiskia,"Wairimu told NTV
Wairimu claims that lying down or walking has become a daily nightmare with searing pain since the tragedy.
After her suffering worsened, she went to a different hospital last Thursday. After an X-ray revealed the needle, she returned to Kirwara Hospital, where doctors reported they couldn't find the needle piece despite their best attempts.
Wairimu is now being treated at the Maragua Hospital. The Muranga County Health Department has announced that it is investigating this alleged medical malpractice case.
