Medical Negligence
Pearson Legal
Full Credential Description
Our client was expecting her first baby and had initially experienced a straightforward pregnancy. At around 27 weeks gestation our client began vomiting blood and noticed reduced foetal movement. When Mrs T presented at St Mary’s Hospital, Manchester she was given medication to stop the vomiting and was sent home.
When she retuned to St Mary’s Hospital she was seen by a midwife who took a urine sample but failed to carry out an ultrasound scan. The baby’s heart rate continued to decline and reached a dangerously low level. Mrs T was eventually transferred to a delivery suite, a doctor attended and commenced the delivery but, sadly, her baby was stillborn.
St Mary’s Hospital does valuable work but on this occasion they missed key opportunities to investigate and intervene to avoid the stillbirth and I am pleased that we secured a settlement for Mrs T”.
