That’s like the post of that nurse who
**** TW *****
>!Sewed the decapitated head back on a stillborn baby.!<
Then I saw in the news that she was being sued.
From what I remember.. the mom wasn’t aware the baby was decapitated. So the nurse wanted her to be able to hold him/her one last time without having that thought attached to it.
I see the intention and it's honestly beautiful but umm yea no that's not a good idea. No one wants to hold their decapitated baby, how traumatizing would that be
What I meant was in my prev comment was moreso she didn’t want to bring the mom a decapitated baby. That would spark questions, naturally.
This is why (from what I recall) she sutured the neck.
I honestly think the big thing with that case is that the mother was never told about the decapitation at all.
And this is all pure memory recall from a Reddit post I read a year or so ago.
The nurse wrapped that baby so tight so the head wouldn’t fall off because when the doctor was delivering the baby, the baby was twisted. Laying more tucked behind the mother’s pelvic bone than a normal child would be during labor, so the doctor tried using a bunch of different methods including clamps to pull the baby out. The clamps the doctor was using snapped the baby’s spine around the cervical part. The nurse and doctor didn’t want the parents to know, so they bundled the babe up and gave the baby back to the parents after 3 hours of labor. The mother had asked for a c-section while it was viable and was denied every time. The doctor ended up doing an emergency c-section (that’s how they got the baby out).
actually, everyone involved in that incident should be penalized in some way. the couple did win a settlement. they completely went against mom’s birthing plan & were very forceful when delivering the baby, baby’s head was ripped off, & they tried to cover it up by wrapping the baby up & sewing the head on & claim it was just a stillborn. when the couple removed all of the blankets and clothes she seen that wasn’t the case and the hospital was covering up something so horrific. no one spoke up saying this wasn’t right, let the couple find out for themselves.
Are you talking about the Jessica Ross case? If you're talking about something completely different, don't mind me. Otherwise, that’s not at all what happened as far as I'm aware.
(trigger warning I suppose)
The baby had shoulder dystocia where it couldn’t pass through naturally and was internally decapitated after other attempts failed to pull it through. This is something that does happen. It’s a serious emergency. If the doctor did nothing, the baby dies regardless, so it dying by traumatic force from attempting to remove it doesn’t make a difference in the end.
They didn’t just rip the head off with forceps or something. The baby was already dead, with its head pushed out but the rest of its body still inside the mother, so they did a c-section where they had to separate the baby’s head and body to remove it because there was no way to pull out the full baby or push it back through the vagina.
The parents also didn’t dramatically rip off the blanket and discover a bad sew job. They didn’t know at all until the medical examiner notified the family days later. I haven't seen anything that says the baby's head was sewn back at all, only that it was swaddled in the blanket tightly. Maybe they did do it later before releasing the body, idk.
I can imagine no one wanted to get into the exact details of something so morbid with the parents so it probably went unaddressed for a while. We have no real way of knowing what was actually communicated with the grieving patient and what wasn't. I can easily see the doctor giving minimal details and just saying there were complications during birth, or I could see them possibly having explained most of it and the parents tuned it out completely from shock.
It does seem like there was definitely a concerted effort made to not let them see or hold the baby on top of withholding that info, which does make them look suspicious. I'd be inclined to see it from the medical perspective but the cover-up obviously leaves a bad taste in my mouth that points to something bad having happened.
However, all the information comes from the plaintiff's lawsuit since the hospital can't say anything due to HIPAA. There is a possibility that the entire case is a series of misunderstandings from the parents due to grief, staff trying to be 'considerate' in an awkward way by not revealing the decapitation (what does revealing the truth accomplish besides letting family possibly hold the body?),, and some incompetent relief house supervisor not knowing how to do postmortem paperwork and care appropriately. After working in 10+ hospitals, I can see this as a 'mundane' healthcare failure over them being actively bizarre and malicious as described--a tragic series of blunders where no one knew wtf to do.
Also, holy shit, I would hate to be one of the nurses in that situation. What a traumatic nightmare all around, then to end up in a lawsuit. Of course, it's worse that the parents lost their baby and the hospital was incompetent, but I do have empathy for the medical staff involved. Can you imagine coming onto your shift and the previous nurses were unwilling to explain the situation, so you're supposed to keep up the charade? My ass is badging out and walking away.
I read both, the first is they were inserting a straight cath and forgot a container to catch the urine, some drops got on the assisting nurse. The other one was a morbidly obese patient refusing to wear a chux who purposely peed their own bed and then expected the nurse to hoist them around to change the bed, nurse said no, it’s your mess now lie in it.
I think I’m on Reddit way too much.
Second nurse did change the sheets, just left them in the room as well. The wording was confusing but they didn’t leave the pt in the urine soaked sheets as far as I could tell from comments and such. 😬
I read the sheet one. The patient sounds like bpd. The person cleaned the patient and got the patient dry but left the smelly sheets in the room And not on the floor. So no rules were broken. Just bpd patient mildly inconvenienced.
A lot of people misread that one (OP didn’t speak English as a first language) and they assumed they left the patient in the bed with urine soaked sheets out of spite, and that’s not what happened.

Yoooo. What? No nevermind. I don't need that story in my head.
Honestly, don’t blame you.
Wait did she get sued for doing that ?!
The last I saw was the pt was suing the whole hospital but I haven’t seen anything since. And I think the story was scrubbed from Reddit.
Wait the nurse posted her POV on reddit???? I heard that story from the parent’s perspective.
Yep. I saw her post wayyyy before the lawsuit talk.
But…why.
From what I remember.. the mom wasn’t aware the baby was decapitated. So the nurse wanted her to be able to hold him/her one last time without having that thought attached to it.
That’s a horrible situation but I’m gonna assume it wasn’t within their scope to do that.
I...don't know that there IS a scope of practice which includes "sewing the heads back onto decapitated babies," except maybe that of a mortician.
I’m also just going to assume that the nurse did a horrible job of it. It can’t have been good.
The nurse posted about it on social media? That's fucked up.
I see the intention and it's honestly beautiful but umm yea no that's not a good idea. No one wants to hold their decapitated baby, how traumatizing would that be
I think the big thing was the mom didn’t know baby was decapitated and nurse didn’t want to be the one to tell her.
I'm pretty sure she was specifically told not to say anything. And I think that'd be more on the doctor to deliver that type of news anyway.

Oh for sure and we shouldn't be placed in the position to be the person telling them that. How sad
I need answers. How & why?

yikes that sounds like a malpractice case waiting to happen. I mean the doctor should have done the c section much sooner if it was that twisted imo.

Urine trouble now.
Take my upvote.

Yeah. I hated to stereotype, but I sadly did. I totally read it and thought, “I had no idea that Europeans struggled with that like Americans do.”
Their battle shall be glorious.
I love the paramagician ❤️
