A Missouri obstetrician separated a baby's head from his body during delivery and then shoved the newborn back into the mother and performed an emergency C-section to cover up the ghastly blunder, a couple claims in a lawsuit. Webb refused to allow them to go to a different hospital, and "Betts consented to a trial of vaginal delivery under duress and protest," the complaint said. During the birth, the boy's head breached, but the rest of his body got stuck in the birth canal, the complaint said. In an attempt to pull the boy loose, Webb applied traction to his head and "separated (the boy's) head from his cervical spine," the complaint said. Blood "shot out" from the newborn's neck in full view of his parents, the complaint said. Webb then "pushed" the boy's head and body back into the birth canal and scrambled to perform a C-section, slicing into Betts before anesthesia kicked in, the complaint said. Not sure what to make of this story...some of the claims seem a bit extreme...but who knows... [link to www.nydailynews.com] Probaly saw that they were black and that a C Section was too expensive and elite for this mom .. He wanted her to endure it the old fashioned way I guess.. If they advice on a C section in the first place, dont deviate from that, Too many women and kids have died for thousands of years before we had the medical technology |
