BABY'S HEAD SEPARATED AT BIRTH?

I thought that this story was sad and absolutely disgusting at the same time! I thought that it was disgusting that modern medicine can treat birth like this and it's also absurd that they allow some of these doctors to even practice. Anyway, I'm talking about this Missouri couple who is suing their doctors for separating their baby's head during a grisly botched birth and trying to cover it up. Unbelievable! 

It turns out; a Missouri obstetrician separated a baby's head from his body during delivery and then tried shoving the newborn back into the mother and performed an emergency C-section to cover up the mess. Arteisha Betts and Travis Ammonette of Florissant, Missouri recently filed a 10-count complaint last month claiming doctors wrongly pushed them to have a vaginal delivery, decapitated their son and the then tried to cover it up. The details of this whole mess are absolutely horrifying! How do these people become doctors? This couple has a lawsuit and a half on their hands. 

It was during a February 2011 doctor's appointment, the couple claimed that Dr. Susan Moore told them that their baby would be delivered by C-section because his abdomen was too large for a normal birth. Well, Betts went into labor early, only 28 weeks into what is normally a 40-week pregnancy, on March 22. The delivering doctor at St. John's Mercy Medical Center refused to perform a C-section and only agreed to deliver he baby by way of attempted trial of vaginal delivery. The doctor also refused to allow the couple to go to a different hospital, so the couple consented to a trial vaginal delivery under duress and protest. First of all, a doctor can only suggest another procedure. They can't refuse to do a procedure, so this is pretty messed up if you ask me! Anyway, in an attempt to pull the boy loose, the doctor applied traction to his head and separated the baby's head from his cervical spine, where blood 'shot out' from the newborn's neck in full view of his parents. The doctor then pushed the baby's head and body back into the birth canal and scrambled to then perform an emergency C-Section, slicing into Betts before the anesthesia even kicked in. How mortifying is this story?

During the procedure, the doctor allegedly 'surgically and completely removed' the baby's head from his body. The doctor then tried to cover up the baby's wounds before handling him over to the parents. I really cannot believe this horrifying story! The couple is accusing the group for wrongful death and negligence and is seeking unspecified damages, which I think they will get. The hospital was not named in the suit. I have to admit that I am speechless over these events! I have nothing more to say about this!
