Ohio woman with baby stuck in birth canal wins $20 million
A jury has awarded a woman in Ohio $20 million after they found doctors negligent in leaving her baby stuck in her birth canal for over 13 hours.
[Heather] Grow’s attorneys argued during a medical malpractice trial that the baby suffered brain injuries. Doctors had told Grow months earlier that she had a narrow pelvic arch.
The lawyers say the now 10-year-old girl has limited use of her limbs, has vision problems and is mildly retarded.
The doctors organization Group Health Associates says Dr. Lisa Yang “did everything medically possible to facilitate a healthy delivery.”
On a side note, this incident to place in 1997. Isn’t there something wrong with the system when it takes over 10 years to resolve such things?!
