Haroon Rashid claims he had to say goodbye to his son while medics giggled in the background
The heartbroken parents of a five-year-old boy who died in hospital claim they heard hospital staff laughing as their son's life support machine was switched off. Haroon Rashid, 41, says he was forced to say goodbye to his son, Muhammad Ayaan Haroon, while "insensitive" medical staff in the same room were giggling in the background.
He had a history of respiratory illnesses and a rare genetic condition called Hace 1 which caused developmental delays. Haroon, a taxi driver and father of four from Sheffield, said: "We don't know how we will live without him now our son is gone. On the other hand, we worry about what happened to him. We don't want this to happen to any other child or any other family.
Haroon and his wife, Fakhra Dibi, 45, are now calling for an investigation into the treatment of their son with a 10-page complaint detailing their concerns about the medical care Ayaan received, as well as the disrespectful behaviour from staff whilst they said goodbye. Haroon claims staff members gave a "dismissive" attitude to care concerns he had raised to them about his son. He said: "Every day in the treatment of my son something went wrong. They didn't listen to my years of experience in caring for my children. I’m not a doctor but I know my son’s history.
Despite all of their recent alleged failings, Haroon was keen to praise previous treatment the family had received from Sheffield Children’s Hospital when Ayaan was an outpatient which he said had been "faultless". Paying tribute to his son, he described him as a happy little boy who always had a smile on his face.
