Did you read about the woman at West Palm Beach hospital given the wrong meds? She was 17 weeks pregnant. The medicaton caused her to induce labor and she gave birth to two still born babies! Shocking! And in the same day, the hospital gave the wrong medication to another woman causing her baby to be born with brain damage! Oh my! Sounds like some people need to be fired! How horrible! Read it here.

It sounds like someone in the hospital gave the wrong medications deliberately. This is more serious than a simple error or someone misreading the labels. For that, all they need to do is put on their glasses. But remember that Actor Dennis Quaid and his twins almost dying because of a medical mishap? Coincidence maybe, but when two others, not three others babies are killed or permanently damaged, this is a deliberate attack. Maybe someone is following Darwin's law of survival of the fitness and is deciding that those not fit to survive should not. The hospital should get the police to launch a criminal investigation and find out if there is a connection and take appropriate action.

Hello estherlou. I feel so bad to hear this. I agree that unqualified doctors and nurses should be fired due to their careless work.

Oh God, this is very sad indeed. This is the reason I do not trust the doctors. Most of the people think that doctors are God. But no its not true. I ahve had many bad experiences with the doctors and so I simply do not trust them anymore. Even if she sues the hospital, she will not get her baby back. Its really sad. Pregnancy itself is such a difficult time. Women have to face so many troubles starting with morning sickness and other health priorities. But a women does all this just to see the smiling face of her healthy baby. I can understand what the lady must be going through. May God give her strength and may the doctors and the nurses be punished for their mistake. This is such a profession, where mistakes cannot be afforded.
