It is reported that a jury has awarded $78 million in a medical malpractice case against a hospital. According to reports, a young girl who didn’t receive proper monitoring during her birth ended up suffering from spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy. The incident reportedly occurred when the doctor conducted an ultrasound and claimed there was no heartbeat. He then reported that the baby was dead. However, the mother insisted that she could feel the baby kicking. It is reported that nothing was done about this for over an hour. The ultrasound was done again with a newer machine and the heartbeat was found. A c-section was then performed, but the baby had been deprived of oxygen for some time.
