[quote=Anonymous]I. Utilizing Intramuscular Oxytocin to stimulate labor in a term pregnancy;
II. Using fundal pressure in the second stage of labor to attempt to cause descent of
the fetus;
III. Using vaginal chlorhexadrine, rather than intravenous penicillin, in labor to treata known group B beta hemolytic strep vaginal carrier to prevent early onset GBS neonatal sepsis;
IV. Misdiagnosing fetal station resulting in an unnecessary episiotomy. The physical exam on admission to Hospital B was a fetus impacted in the vagina at + 1 station which was incompatible with the report that the fetus had been crowning when the episiotomy was performed...

... Patient B delivered a male infant ("Baby B") by LSTCS, with a vertex fetal presentation and occiput posterior ("OP") position at birth. The APGAR scores were 1 at 1 minute and 5 at 5 minutes and cord/Initial blood gas was ph 7.1; pC02 63; p02 10; BE -13. Baby B was limp and cyanotic on delivery with nuchal

this one of 5 complaints and thank God she was just banned from delivering at my hospital about a year before all this went down... Yes her cult didnt report her but the teams that had to CLEAN UP HER HORRIBLE MESS did.... In many of these cases if she had changed the plan as needed the outcomes would not have been so grim but she took toooooo many risks... STOP BEING SELFISH TO YOUR PLAN... make a plan but be willing to flex a little when needed... we all want healthy screaming babies that i would be happy to place on the abdomen and delay all medical interventions WHEN THE BABY IS HEALTHY.... it is selfish to stick to ur way knowing the baby is in danger and then look to the HORRIBLE HOSPITAL STAFF to fix it after things get screwed but who can blame you when the birthing guru who you trust tells you it si all ok and we shouldnt go to the hospital because you wont get your way... & OMG, the BIRTHING GURU PERFORMED AN EPISIOTOMY.... lol with the baby still sky high!@ least the docs know when to do one (ps- minutes after an epis, the perineum start to swell and looks like hot dog buns, and there is no  need to do that untill the baby is at the perineum otherwise, its bleeding and swellinf time) what was she thinking![/quote]
