Re: Doctor Decapitates Baby During Birth in Hospital

it's a horrificaly common trend! My wife's cousin had a terrible experince at the hospital with her child, so my wife was determined to give birth at a birth center staffed by midwives, but because our baby was early state law dictated we go to the hospital. And while the birthing experience was fine, the post partum care for both my wife and child was horrific.
I was denied entry to the hospital when I left the second day to pick up some things at home and come back because the hospital has a "one visitation per day" due to covid (which we later found out was against the hospital's own handbook).
We did not want to wear masks around the baby to help prevent any bonding confusion and were threatened to have the baby taken from us as a result.
We had to constantly fight them over how we wanted to do things with the baby (and my wife has a degree in early childhood development with a focus on infant care, and is a certified childcare provider by the state, so she kind of knows what she was talking about) and they kept taking her away to put her in the "nursery" room every time there was a disagreement (and the nursery time added up to a $5000 bill not covered by our insurance).
We had to fight to be able to go home after a week in the hospital and were threatened with a social services investigation at one point over it.
it was a nightmare experience.
