The complaint asks for compensatory and punitive damages of more than $10,000.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ten Thousand? More like Ten MILLION.

What could possibly go wrong with affirmative action proliferating in medicine.

That’s quite a leap. I’d like some facts first.

I would say this is pretty much up there with an abortion.

This is horrific!

“Instead, the hospital staff allegedly refused to let the couple hold the baby after death. They showed the parents the baby wrapped tightly in a blanket with the head propped on top, the statement said. Additionally, the couple claims in the lawsuit they were pressured by staff to cremate the remains. They were told an autopsy wasn’t warranted.

The couple reportedly didn’t learn about the decapitation until four days after delivery.”

What an awful situation although one cannot be sure that what has been described here is exactly how it went down.

However the hospital handled it they screwed up royally and a large settlement is the least they can do.

The doc missed the “Do no harm” class.

The delivering doc was their doc and had privileges at the hospital.

Hey she just received a free abortion. Abortion is health care we are told.

Very sad that its a person/murder only when the woman wants it.

This is no way to have proper objective laws, making women the only class of person allowed to murder another if they are inconvenient.

That doesn’t prove anything. We still need more facts.

A number of years ago I read about a very premature baby who was decapitated when it was delivered breach and the doctor pulled on its body while its neck was trapped in the cervix.

Similar thing here, traction with the head trapped.

Perhaps the baby had already died in utero and its tissues had begun to break down. That would explain the low amount asked in the lawsuit, that the doctor’s actions did not actually kill the baby.

I’ve been told in a similar case that the low amount was a legal placeholder that will be jacked sky high later.

It’s interesting to claim that the hospital caused them extra anguish by covering up what happened. It would hardly have reduced thier anguish to hand them the remains in parts and tell them all about what happened in graphic detail.

Whoever was attempting to deliver the baby might or might not have been negligent at all. This sounds like a very unusual circumstance — way beyond my limited medical knowledge and the lack of objective facts to parse.

It’s a wrongful death suit. The dr and nurses never told her how her baby died, and encouraged her to cremate. The authorities were not notified either.

It was the funeral home who contacted the authorities and told the mother.

Without further facts - and given that the ones we have are even true - it’s the way they handled the aftermath and the parents that really disturbs me.
