Allow me to treat a brain damaged baby case, that I began when a woman came into my office and told me how she was in labor with her second child. She was admitted to the work floor, and appears to monitor hooked up to a fetus, determine the baby's heart rate and contraction patterns of the mother.
She was on the labor floor for hours with infrequent visits by a nurse and a resident doctor every so often. Mother told me that, despite the persistent discomfort of labor pains,their pleas for help went ignored. Nobody controls her for more than an hour. When a nurse finally examined her, she noticed an abnormal fetal curves and ran for the doctor. The doctor came, examined the patient, reviewed the fetal monitoring strips and decided she needed an emergency Caesarean section. All the mother knew was that there is a problem with the baby.
At birth the child was the very low Apgar scores, which are given the baby to try and objectively assesBaby's well-being at the time of birth. The doctors consider whether the child is breathing at birth, whether he is crying and moving his arms and legs. The color of his skin is evaluated, among other important factors that make a baby "Apgar scores."
Unfortunately for this mother, her child too little oxygen, a condition known as hypoxia, is a lack of oxygen that the brain has caused damage. We have argued that the baby went to the plight of the fetal monitor tracing was visible, that, ignored complaints, together with her mother. The doctor who was responsible for these patients initially claimed that the patient needed an emergency c-section, but then later changed his statement and claimed that it really was an emergency c-section because the baby was in distress.
Oxygen deficiency is a term that doctors use to mean "no oxygen."
Hypoxia is a term that doctors use to mean "lack of oxygen."
Either condition is very bad for the baby, because our brains need oxygen to survive. If the baby'sBrain is deprived of oxygen for some time, the baby may experience permanent and irreversible brain damage.
In our case, I was able to successfully resolve the case in favor of the mother and child. To recognize the completion of appropriate compensation as a result of the lack of fetal distress during labor to allow the mother to be able to support their disabled and brain-damaged child for the rest of their lives.
