Brazil has universal free healthcare for all permanent residents. I guess you get what you pay for.
That is absolutely awful. I talked to my OB, and he said there's only so hard you should pull with forceps, and that's all you should do. On the other hand, my sister was delivered with the doctor LITERALLY bracing his foot on the edge of the delivery bed and pulling with all his might. Geez. She turned out fine, though.
What a horrible story.
I do wonder, though, if something very critical had happened - the baby had stopped getting oxygen or her heart had stopped, and it was such an emergency that the baby would have died in utero. You want to think that, anyway.
“They said a hospital social worker told them the facility would cover the burial costs – but only if they agreed to sign a waiver that “the autopsy had already been performed” and that it “would not be forwarded to the Legal Medical Institute (IML)” for further analysis.”
Pretty shady of the hospital.
What a heartbreaking story. It’s painful enough to lose a baby during childbirth but in such a horrific manner it will surely haunt them forever.
I have Irish InLaws and that country has universal "Free" healthcare but they pay loads in taxes to have it plus IF you can afford it you go the private route for better care.
I can't imagine the pain the mom and dad must be feeling. That kind of stuff happens in horror movies!
Maybe we are seeing the big surges at the Border because people from Central and South America are fleeing their Free healthcare for a much better Free healthcare in America?
