Doctor's Negligence Results in Brain Injury to Baby
A doctor is being charged with “inadequate, irresponsible, inappropriate and sub-standard care” for his delivery of a baby. The result of his negligence caused the baby undue stress and subsequently was born with a severe brain injury.
The article reads that the mother was having a difficult delivery when the doctor took over. He tried to deliver the baby via suction cap six times, when the standard is only three. From here on, the doctor attempted to deliver the baby using forceps and then finally, gave the mother a cesarean.
A representative of the General Medial Council of the UK stated that the doctor “should have carried out the operation after the third attempt at suction failed”.
After the suspicious delivery, the doctor was to be put on watch by his supervisors, but called for a compassion leave, saying he had to visit his sick mother in Egypt. He resigned shortly thereafter.
