Infant Decapitated During Delivery at Georgia Hospital, Lawsuit Alleges
A Georgia woman has filed a lawsuit against the Southern Regional Medical Center and her doctor after her baby boy was decapitated during delivery.
Jessica Ross, 20, claims that while she was in labor on July 9, the baby’s shoulders became stuck inside the vaginal canal. Instead of performing an emergency c-section, the doctor allegedly applied “ridiculously excessive force” on the baby’s head and neck to try and remove it.
A c-section was not performed for three hours, and by then, there was no heartbeat — and no head.
“The feet came out, the body came out and there was no head,” attorney Roderick Edmond, who is also a physician, said during a press conference, according to a report from 11 Alive.
