Physician's Incorrect Use Of Vacuum Extractor Leads To Baby's Stillbirth

Not every state allows parents to pursue a claim for medical malpractice or wrongful death subsequent to the stillbirth of their child

. In certain states just the mother is permitted to file a lawsuit. The father has no remedy. Certain states have a cause of action solely for some mothers for the emotional harm she suffered from the death of her infant. To be eligible she had to have endured a physical injury from the same act of medical negligence that resulted in the death of her infant.

Think about the published story a couple who married in their forties and who, more than anything else, desired to have a child. They wanted to have a child so much that they began trying to conceive even before becoming married. When they learned that they were pregnant the pair was thrilled with the news that they were going to be parents of their first child. Afterward they were told that they were having a son and they were excited with the news. The expectant parents selected a name for their baby. They decorated and equipped a room in their home for the baby. Next they held a baby shower and invited friends and family.

The wife took it as her obligation to follow all the advice given to her by her doctor. She only ate and drank things that would supply healthy nutrients for the baby. She took prenatal vitamins. She attended all prenatal visits. She was tested during the pregnancy and was told that her baby was developing normally. She did all she could and was reassured that her baby was healthy.

The mother got to the hospital when she reached full term and it was time deliver the baby. After her admission she was taken to the delivery room for a natural delivery. As time progressed she became aware that she was unable to get the baby past the birth canal. At this time she asked that her doctor cease any more attempts at a natural childbirth and rather perform a C-section to deliver the child.

Instead of listening to her concerns and honoring her request, the physician began a tirade ridiculing the woman while she was in labor. The physician proceeded to call the patient lazy and a coward trying to avoid the pain of delivery. The doctor told her she was not trying hard enough. The doctor even told her that she would never be a good mother. As per testimony, on top of this, the physician was not even paying adequate attention to the mother as his attention was taken up flirting with a nurse in the delivery room.
