[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Any evidence regarding the Midwife was precluded by the Woman's attorney, even before the trial began! [/b][b] So the jury never heard what happened at home.[/b]  The Midwife is a quack who lost her license due to 5 birth disasters including death of a child.  From what I read, the midwife injected all kinds of things including pitocin to escalate involuntary contraction, which she is not supposed to/she should not have.  The woman is also negligent to jeopardize her child's safety by leaving it to the hands of such incompetent, with no medical equipment, at home, when there is such modern medical facilities around.  Had she gone to doctor's regularly, the hospital would have all medical records and such emergency would not arise.  Yet, the woman, explicitly claims, she has no guilt and assumes no responsibility for what happened.  The fault/negligence is 3 fold, if any.  Primarily the woman, the midwife, and yeah maybe the hospital could've performed a little faster.  But the truth of the matter is, the hospital, ultimately saved the child's life, who could have otherwise [b]DIED! [/b] And to sue the hospital just b/c the woman needs more money to raise the child is very wrong.  55 million is not 5 million.  It is a disgusting amount of tax payer's money. [b] Such award will not deter future law suits; it will encourage people to try home birth with midwives, and hey, if anything goes wrong, just go to the biggest hospital nearby for a great chance to win the lottery![/b][/quote]

I think the mental state of her child speaks even more loudly than the money. This is the type of situation that prompts most of us to deliver in a hospital.  To see that child at 2 years old with barely any development...[/quote]
