Guess the country: Baby in intensive care has his toe accidentally cut off

The mother of a baby boy is furious after her son’s toe was cut off by a nurse.
Davante and Delante Hogue were twin boys born via emergency cesarean section at University of New Mexico Hospital at just 29 weeks and now at 8 months old Deleante has gone home with mum and dad but baby Davante is still in the hospital.
Mother Erica Hogue has been given a bleak prognosis for her special needs son who remains in intensive care.
"They told us they could let him go because he got a stage-3 brain bleed," Ms Hogue told local news outlet KOB.com but she and her husband were committed to fighting for Davante. "We were going to take our son whatever way he came to us."
Faced with the prospect her boy, who has a hole in his heart and is persistently intubated, may never walk or talk the Hogue’s had to recently deal with another setback when a nurse who was cutting off surgical tape around the infants foot accidentally cut his pinky toe off, KOB reports.
"The orthopedic surgeon came up and stitched all the way around his toe placed him in a leg cast," said Hogue.
Unfortunately the toe was unable to regain circulation and the digit was lost.
"It just makes me angry that something like this could happen," she said.
Hogue claims that the hospital investigated and has since apologised but she is still struggling to come to terms with what happened.
"The only thing that they could do is use a different tape," Hogue said. "For me, that is just not enough. I believe that my baby is worth so much more than that.”
According to KOB UNM Hospital declined to comment on the incident but Hogue says she and her husband are considering legal action in the future.
"Our priority is getting our son home where he belongs," Hogue said.
