I heard about this story from a headline that medicinesux tweeted...
"A Missouri couple filed a lawsuit Sept. 28 against four defendants for a birth gone horribly wrong. The New York Daily News reports Friday that Arteisha Betts and Travis Ammonette of Florissant, Mo., claim their newborn son, Kaden Travis Ammonette, died while in the birth canal. The baby's head was allegedly decapitated from its neck when the doctor tried pulling the baby out of the birth canal.
The story gets worse. At the point, the plaintiffs say blood from the baby's neck splattered into the labor and delivery room in plain sight of the mother and father. The couple then claims the doctor did the unthinkable --Webb supposedly pushed the baby back into the uterus and ordered an emergency Caesarian section."
I had to pick my jaw off the floor after reading b/c its horrible to the point of absurd... I feel like there are major details missing but as a complete stranger to the field is it common to not deliver a premature infant via c-section? How common would a complication like this be?
