Doctor Runs Out Of Delivery Room After Her Long Nails Cost Newborn Life (2/20)

Ribeiro recounted how her baby was healthy and that she was in good spirits in the days leading up to her giving birth. She attended two different units, one public and one private, making an effort economically so that her daughter would have the best care possible.

Doctors at the private clinic warned her that the baby was too large to be safely delivered through natural birth and recommended she have a cesarean section instead.

The public establishment, however, dismissed this recommendation and allegedly forced the mother to deliver the baby naturally, which caused complications that eventually resulted in the doctor applying unnecessary force, rupturing her gloves, and damaging the infant’s neck with her nails.
