Parents Sue Dr. after Baby's Head cut off during birth

i cant click that link, the threads depressing enough

Obamacare to the rescue!

me too LOL

I'm sometimes best not leaving the image in my head lol

This is why we didn't need tort reform as part of health care reform law, whether or not you agreed with it in principle. The insurance companies and doctors already have the system far more behind them and it's much more difficult for the party with the least power and resources to successfully attempt to make themselves whole without a bunch more laws limiting the caps of rewards in court and such. Not that there aren't those that abuse the justice system at our common expense, but if you compared that to the use of the justice system to settle petty squabbles over patents they use far more justice system resources without it being a problem, all paid for by taxpayers. Corporate involvement in lawsuits over a certain amount should be paid for by them and leave the justice system for the people to settle their disputes. The simple way would be for a brand new state corporate court for every state and corporate federal courts that mirror the current federal system. If it's a corporate plaintiff it can only take other corps to the venue, it cannot sue private citizens there. It's pay to play. You must pay an ongoing fee for your case to be heard which will dissuade the dragging on the case in court strategies in a lot of cases and produce a settlement.

sorry for the court diatribe here that is semi off topic, but the justice system has some real bad flaws which this set off in my head.

My little boy was born seriously ill and thanks to modern medicine is a happy healthy 9 year old.....I didn't have a choice as he was diagnosed with meningitis at birth......

it was dr. moore and dr. webb in st. louis. Dr. Moore is an excellent doctor, and has even starred on baby shows on TLC in the past. She delivered my younger brother and sister. The Dr. Webb whom im unfamilliar with is the one who made the error and severed the babys head.

The doctor refused to do as the patient wanted and do what was needed in this situation so the Doctor deserves to be sued and I personally hope she ends up owning this doctors house, practice, and all of his money. and that still wouldnt account for her loss.

i think this story is bullshit.... it smells fishy and you wait almost a year to file a suit in which your baby was decapitated?? please tell me I am not alone on this.

Funny, that'w what my wife and I said too right up until the point when we discovered that our baby who was already 2.5 weeks late was trapped inside of her due to the shape of my wife's pelvis.

Please, educate yourself before judging.

I am prolife, and I am opposed to invitro fertilization. Many of us are.

Yes it was.

Now its time to sue because God forbid this family honestly grieves. NO, there also has to be a pay day at the end of the tunnel.

Pathetic

So he put the head back on, hid the mess with gauze and then gave it back to the parents.


There is so much WTF in this story I don't even know where to start.

Grief does weird things to people.

gives new meaning to the old children saying

"Mamma had a baby and her head popped off"

This.

+1. besides, we don't know if other higher systems are bypassed like parent to fetal root memory exchange or endorphine level balance.
