Hellobee Boards

I'm going to go by your description and not read the article. but OMG those poor parents! And the mom! UGH.

Omg so terrible...

Just...no.

This article just raised a bunch of questions. It all seems very confusing. I feel horrible for the parents, but I don't really understand what happened.

I don't understand how something like that could happen. It sounds like a story from the early days of obstetrics. I feel so bad for the couple.

@LivsMama: I don't want to post too much because it is such a sensitive subjeect, but the blood spurting was a response to the pressure and the internal injury (maybe coming out of somewhere else-like the ear), but yes the head was still attached at that point. I just don't want someone to get the picture the babies head was ripped off completely by the traction. Completely agree, regardless the situation is so unimaginable.

I was afraid this article was going to surface here.

Dr. Webb is my perinatologist. He performed my CVS and will do my 2nd level ultrasound in a few weeks.

He's been a wonderful doctor for me, and the stories in the news are incredibly graphic. There's no "other side" that's being posted, because obviously he and his lawyers cannot comment, due to doctor-patient privileges. I know he is still practicing and I'm sure if the Medical Boards were concerned, they'd have temporarily frozen his license. This occurred in March 2011 and he's still seeing patients and such.

I think the story sounds fishy. Things happen during birth--horrible, awful things, and I read the actual 30+ page lawsuit. The baby was stuck, he didn't use suction--he used a special maneuver (i forgot the name of it) and something very wrong happened in the process.
