Went for wedding dinner last night at a 5-star hotel, and the careless waitress scalded my nephew with HOT water! 2nd degree burn! SIL requested for 2 glasses of plain water, waitress asked if warm is ok so ok lor. She came with steaming hot water and in wine glasses. And she balance one wine glass on a tray so when she lean over to place the other glass on the table (and she had to do it over my nephew), of course the other wine glass on the tray topple over! Spilled onto his shoulder and we tot only plain water until we saw his expression. Quickly removed his shirt and my hubby blew up, asked for the manager immed.
Brot him to toilet to put ice wrapped in towel while waiting for ambulance. Police had to come for the record too. And the waitress said it was my nephew who lifted his arm up which wasn't true! Moreover, why you serve hot water and why over a kid!
At the hospital, the hotel's security and senior management staff were there and my SIL asked the doctor in their presence what type of water will cause this 2nd degree burn. The doctor confirmed it has to be really hot water.
And because of this incident, our other kids were also traumatised by it. Meg woke up crying 3x last night and my other nephew (the bro), cried at home too.
lucky my nephew need not be admitted last night. But next week gotta go see plastic surgeon. And it must be very painful for him. He was shaking. But this boy, since young, even how pain, he will not wail out. Just tolerate and only tears rolling down. Aiya...I feel so sad looking at him.
