Another reason to homebirth

Woman goes into the hospital to give birth, goes home a quadruple amputee

“ Claudia Mejia gave birth eight and a half months ago at Orlando Regional South Seminole. She was transported to Orlando Regional Medical Center in Orlando where her arms and legs were amputated. She was told she had streptococcus, a flesh eating bacteria, and toxic shock syndrome, but no further explanation was given.

 

The hospital, in a letter, wrote that if she wanted to find out exactly what happened, she would have to sue them.”

 So, to add insult to injury, the gal in the next room could have flesh-eating bacteria gobbling away at her,  the nurse forget to wash her hands between patients, and the little boogers are eating your arms and legs for lunch.

 And the hospital doesn’t feel they owe you an explanation.
