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.

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.

Also, the baby’s shoulders were stuck. The dr broke the bones in the neck, face, and skull trying to manipulate the baby out of the birth canal. After a couple of hours of that, they finally took her to have the c- section. That’s when they saw the body was detached from the head.

This is a horrible situation. Then to lie to the couple and proceed to cover it up. The suit says more than 10k. I’m sure it will be A LOT more.

Perhaps not.

The baby's heart beat is monitored during delivery.

So they would have known if the baby had died.

Unless they were stupidly negligent.

“More than $10,000” is not a low amount. With that vague terminology, they could be asking millions, billions, trillions etc.
