According to the lawsuit, a family in Texas alleged that their child suffered brain damage due to the negligence of the obstetrician and medical staff at Bayshore Medical Center. The family stated that the obstetrician failed to report problems in the medical condition of mother and child, failed to perform an emergency C-section in a timely manner, and failed to diagnose and treat the baby’s condition that led to permanent brain injury.
When the mother entered Bayshore Medical Center in Texas at full term to deliver her child, the obstetrician and other healthcare professionals did not document any problems regarding the medical condition of the mother or child. Although a C-section was performed, it was delayed, and when it was finally done, it was not performed in an operating room. Also, following the C-section, the medical team failed to properly diagnose the newborn’s condition and perform the necessary medical treatment to prevent the baby from sustaining permanent brain damage.

This lawsuit serves as an example of how a physician’s negligence can change a child’s life forever; if the medical professionals had properly observed and documented the unborn child’s medical issues, the child may not have suffered a brain injury.
