I was watching TV yesterday when I saw this report that was broadcast on a local TV news. There was a patient who delivered her fifth baby child in one of the known and recognized hospitals. I do not want to mention the name of that facility because of their good reputation in health services. The baby was only seven months old and it is too early for the patient to deliver that child. Unfortunately, postpartum or after childbirth, the baby was not immediately place in the incubator, thus leading the cause of death of that poor baby child. It really made me sad to know that report. The parents were crying a lot. The hospital was proclaiming that the child was having a lung problem. They said that there was an abnormality of the baby's lungs and it was not fully developed, which causes the death of that poor baby child. They insisted that even though they have placed the child in the incubator, still the baby will die because of the aforementioned lung problem. Do you think guys that the hospital's explanation was resonable or good enough to support the causation of the child's death or it was just their own negligence to have put the child immediately in the incubator?

I saw the news too... i think it is negligence on the part of the hospital... to say that the child would die even if they put her in the incubator means that they did not do everything ways and means possible to help save the baby's life... its like they just gave up and waited for the baby to die...
With the technology that we have today, even those born on the sixth months are more likely to survive if given the proper care...
