Take the hospital at their word, but not the family? Odd indeed...

Yes, I would have told them the truth. (The alternative being the propping up behind a window) I recall a story my fundamentals of nursing professor told us. In the 1950s, she was a new nurse, and the mother had delivered/miscarried a molar pregnancy. The new nurse wrapped up the molar "baby" and allowed the mother to hold. It's that simple.

It's public record - law enforcement was not called by the hospital (staff). They were notified by the mortician.

She works for a group contracted with the hospital.

Failure to advocate and fraud are big ones. Lawyer speak notwithstanding, that's what jumped out to me when I heard the details, as a nurse. It's clear that their physician/lawyer has reviewed the medical records, and was candid regarding horrific details. Recounting the events for the young parents. Nobody reported. This is a diffusion of responsibility phenomenon. "Somebody else will do something" Certainly not for me to say whether licensure statuses will be affected. A gut reaction from the details.

Dr. Roderick Edmond is the lead attorney, and explains the events from the eyes of a physician, as he still is. He has reviewed the medical records and is explaining what was documented very eloquently.

The medical examiner was not called by the hospital. The ME was called by the funeral home days later. The medical examiner has confirmed that they were not notified by the hospital at the time of death. This is public record, and an easy fact check, which has been done on this side. Having had to unfortunately call the medical examiner many times throughout my career, I am well versed in our responsibilities as nurses to see that this gets completed in an unexpected death.

Watch the 15 minute news conference, with the legal team. The lead lawyer is (also) a physician. They have clear knowledge of the medical records, participants, and the timeline of events.

Your first reply you state: "I can understand the nurses' actions" Then you later state that we don't have enough information. Which is it, and what (else) exactly are you looking to understand? The physician decapitated the baby during the actual birth attempt through the lady partsl canal, and waited over 2 hours before changing her clinical approach, and then the dead baby was held up to the parents. Failure to advocate is pretty clear from everybody in the room, both three physician and nursing.

Who else but nursing would swaddle the kid and hold him up through the window with a detached head, concealing the decapitation and the bloodshed. Nursing would also be the ones to call the medical examiner (usually the charge or the house sup, never the doc) I've done many many times. This wasn't done, as the whole thing was a cover up. Anyone in the room - complicit...

You can understand their behaviors? Corpse/evidence tampering, obfuscation/deception to the family and to the medical examiner. Need I go on? Everyone who holds a license, that was part of that scenario, should lose it.

Not a lot of coverage on the baby that was decapitated during birth and the nursing staff that helped to try and cover it up. This happened in July. I'm an advocate for these nurses losing their licenses, and being criminally charged.

Anyone remember taped report on the old tape recorders? I miss that. No questions ?
