You’d love to get to hold on your baby as soon as
he or she is born. However, nobody wants to be the one to deliver your own
baby. This odd event happened to one couple on a hospital in Boynton Brach
Florida.
According to reports, a husband admitted his wife
in the hospital since she was laboring and will be giving birth anytime soon. Their
stay In the maternity turned out normal as she was given an induction drug to
speed up the delivery of the baby. Not long after, they were abandoned by the
hospital staff for another patient was said to be in need of an emergency
C-section. This left the laboring mother with no one but her husband.
Amidst the laboring woman’s screams, all that the
hospital nurse said was for them to “wait”. Unfortunately, the same cannot be
said to the baby. The labor was moving along rather quickly. To stall the birth
of the baby, one of the doctors stopped the induction drip so that the baby
could wait until the former was back, ready to deliver the female baby.
This left the husband with no recourse but to
deliver the baby himself, helping his wife in the hard and painful delivery
process without the supervision of any medical professions. That is because the
lone nurse who was there to look after them left as well. The obstetrician went
back just in time to cut the umbilical cord of the baby girl.
A Grave Case of Medical Malpractice
What this Florida couple suffered is one notable
case of medical malpractice. Despite
what happened, the hospital spokeswoman claimed that the mom and baby are
“doing very well” anyway. Because of what happened, the spokesperson added that
they were offering “special accommodations” for the victims. However, it was
not clear to her if the family was still there.
