Brickbat: The First Cut is the Deepest

Dmitry Kotin / Dreamstime.com

A family member of a British woman who died after a car wreck say staff at Lincoln County Hospital did not tell initially them they had performed an emergency caesarian section on the woman. Adele Barbour, 48, was not pregnant. Rather, surgery she'd had years before to treat spina bifida left her with an enlarged stomach. "United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust have a duty of candor to be open and honest but they were not and that caused us additional heartache," said Barbour's sister.

In my opinion from the evidence I don't think that the crew could have done any more than they did.

Maybe even less.

Halfway around the world doctors attempt to save a non-existent baby, while in the good ol' USA, Team Blue is resolutely united in it's determination to kill real babies.

Fetal tissue is not viable until woman leaves the hospital. Duh...

So a 48-year-old woman with a protruding stomach was judged to be pregnant based solely on a her swollen belly? That means I'd be assumed to be due soon anytime I ate gassy foods.

I've always heard British dentist were horrible.

A c-section is an extraction!

What's her complaint? It was free healthcare, wasn't it? See, you only hear the bad things about the NHS and how sometimes people can't get the healthcare they want, you rarely hear of the times they get bonus healthcare.

From another thread.

People need to take responsibility for their addiction.

Dr. Lonny Shavelson found that 70% of female heroin addicts were sexually abused in childhood. http://powerandcontrol.blogspo.....eroin.html

Addiction is a symptom of PTSD. Look it up.

Government always gets too big. Failing governments get bigger faster. A disaffected population always needs more monitoring.

[Ordinary Person]

Yeah, that's the story some of tards around here tell about Nixon. It's goes something like "The liberals and blacks were agitating so that scared us and we naturally became fascists."

So? You read the book already?

National healthcare- where nobody is held personally or financially liable.

But, did the baby live?

[Unicorn Abattoir]

Well, sort of. The baby didn't die, so we'll just call it a success and move on.

[Longtobefree]

We really, really, need to copy the British National Heath Service.

While this is embarrassing for everyone involved, I can't fault the doctors for their. They received what they initially thought to have a pregnant, dead woman. If they were correct, then any delay to second guess or check would have been likely fatal for the infant. Given limited information and time, I would say that they did the right thing.
