An illegal immigrant was awarded $700,000 in a settlement for a lawsuit related to a botched pregnancy case. According to reports, the medical staff failed to correctly interpret fetal heart monitoring strips that indicated the baby was in distress during delivery. The baby was reportedly not getting enough oxygen at the time. The nursing staff reportedly alerted the doctor about 15 times, but he reportedly ordered for her to have the baby naturally. As a result, the baby has suffered major health problems that will hold her back permanently.
