"I don't care. I insist on having a cesarean section. If you don't do it, I will go to another hospital." Yesterday morning, in the obstetrics ward of the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, 26-year-old Zhang Lan was resolute.
Half an hour before, Director Qi Hongbo of the obstetrics department had patiently explained the various hazards of cesarean sections to her, and her husband had also repeatedly persuaded her to have a natural delivery. In the end, Zhang Lan still insisted on having a cesarean section.
An hour later, Zhang Lan gave birth successfully via cesarean section. The family was ecstatic and celebrating when the doctor announced an unfortunate piece of news: her son had been sent to the intensive care unit due to neonatal aspiration pneumonia. He needed timely treatment, and the "infant syndrome" caused by the cesarean section was the main culprit.
