A Sydney Australia court has cleared an obstetrician of any financial liability in a birth trauma lawsuit. George Angus was the specialist on duty when a baby was born with brain damage in September of 1995. The family of the baby had previously reached a settlement of $7.5 Million with the Greater Southern Area Health Service (GSAHS), an organization that provides health care to people living in specified regions of New South Wales, Australia. The birth of the baby was complicated when his shoulders became blocked and the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck. These complications lead to a deprivation of oxygen which resulted in brain damage. The GSAHS, in an effort to recover some of the birth injury settlement, filed a lawsuit against Dr. Angus, claiming the difficult birth was partly his fault because he did not order utilization of a cardiotocograph (CTG) monitor. A CTG monitor graphs how…

What was supposed to be a routine outpatient surgery for a Florida woman became a nightmare when a flash fire burned her face and neck. 29-year-old Kim Grice was going through surgery to remove some growths from her head, surgery that should have been routine and uneventful. Grice’s mother, Ann, was waiting in the hospital lobby for her daughter to when emergency crews and the fire department showed up. The explanation by hospital staff that her daughter’s face had caught fire was not comforting to Ann. “I am in shock,” Ann said. “This is not what happens with routine outpatient surgery.” Operating room fires are not as rare as one would think. According to experts, at least 650 fires happen in operating rooms around the country each year. It is enough of a problem that the FDA is stepping in to increase safety awareness. Launching a new initiative, the government…

Recently I saw a picture of a couple throwing a baby out the window of their apartment, during a  fire, in an attempt to save him. You could see the smoke around the couple coming out of the window. The photograph showed the baby in mid flight against the building’s wall. What you could not see were the people on the ground without a net, waiting to catch him in their arms. I was horrified!! Why would anyone take such a risk with their baby’s life?   Then, like an epiphany, I realized that a parent would do anything, risk everything to make sure that their child is safe and well, no matter what. That family made the heart breaking decision to put their trust in the individuals on the ground and thus ensure their baby’s life.

.!. Babies born just a few weeks prematurely are more than three times as likely to have cerebral palsy than full-term infants. In fact, those last few weeks of pregnancy are critical to a child’s health and development. New research indicates that late preterm infants (those born 34-36 weeks gestation) had a much higher risk of developmental delays than babies born full-term. The earlier an infant is born, the higher the risk of some neuro-developmental problems, the research shows. For example, infants born between 30 and 33 weeks gestation were nearly eight times as likely as full-term infants to have cerebral palsy. This adds to the growing body of evidence showing that being born just a few weeks too soon can have lasting consequences that can no longer be described as temporary or benign. These findings reinforce the message that a few extra weeks of pregnancy can have a beneficial…
