Birth Injury Lawyer

During a delivery almost 9 years ago, a money and her son suffered many birth injuries because of the malpractice of the doctor that was working with them. While the mother was pushing the baby out of her birth canal, the baby got stuck and didn’t want to come out. The hospital resident took forceps and pulled on the baby’s head for a reported 23 minutes until the baby finally came through the birth canal. When the resident, Dr. Po Ching Fong, finally pulled the baby out, records show that the baby was incredibly oxygen deprived and can out lifeless from the mother’s birth canal.

Once the doctors performed emergency resuscitation, the baby began to take breaths and regain a heartbeat. The anesthesiologist showed that the baby needed oxygen so proceeded to insert a breathing tube into the baby’s lungs. The doctor made another mistake and put the tube into the baby’s esophagus instead of the wind pipe which pumped oxygen into the baby’s stomach instead of lungs.

After a 9 year long trial, the law suit was finally completed yesterday with the mother and her son being awarded $19.6 million for damages during the delivery of her son. Because of the birth injuries, the son now has cerebral palsy because of the damage to his brain.

It is easy for us to think of disabled individuals as always needing help in some way, shape, or form.  Their dependence upon the immediate family and sometimes complete stranger paint a picture of incapability and helplessness, much like that of a newborn child.  However, every once and a while something happens that challenges our conceptions of what is truly possible in any given situation.

Gregory Bridewell, a small Kentucky boy who has suffered from cerebral palsy, was watching television at the family home.  All of a sudden the television blew up and caught fire.  The small boy managed to crawl his way outside to alert his grandfather, who was doing yard work.  As a result, the grandfather was able to evacuate the house before disaster struck.  Imagine what this amazing little boy would be able to do were he not suffering from cerebral palsy.

A new study has revealed that painful sex after giving birth may affect more that 33% of women. The European research project sent out questionnaires to about 482 women, asking about their sexual health and lifestyles after having given birth.

The most common problem is that of “sexual morbidity,” which includes a host of symptoms: painful sex, lack of feeling during sex, lack of lubrication and incontinence. The study also suggests that the use of forceps during delivery to help the passage of the baby actually increases the chances that sexual morbidity will occur within one year after giving birth.

The consequences of giving can be far-reaching, and when a doctor does not fulfill his responsibilities in ensuring you and your baby’s safe, he needs to be held responsible. For more information contact that birth-injury lawyers of the Williams Kherkher lawfirm at 866.950.9000.

Giving birth to a child is quite the ordeal.  The all-too-familiar regimen of breathing-exercise classes, and “knowing what to expect” counseling sessions have placed into our minds the value of good preparation and readiness for the inevitable.  During labor, one must keep a close eye on both the mother’s and the baby’s health.  This wonderfully beautiful processes of bringing life into the world can turn catastrophic very quickly is things are not managed properly. 

Among the plethora of variable that can affect the outcome of childbirth, one that is often overlooked (unless you’ve already been through the process) is pain management.  How much pain can a woman really take during labor and how will her response to that pain affect the baby’s health during passage? 

Doctors need to be aware of the dangers involved and must respond to events appropriately to ensure the preservation of life in the labor room.  If not, the consequences could be dire.  For more information on how you can protect your baby and its mother during childbirth, contact the birth-injury lawyers at the law office of Williams Kherkher by calling 866.950.9000.
