A Michigan midwife is accused of negligence for the death of a newborn. A malpractice attorney plans to file a lawsuit against the midwife. The case pertains to a baby born on February 8, 2018. He died three days later. The cause of death was allegedly brain injuries resulting from a delivery gone wrong at home.
The attorney described the midwife as “stubborn” and “incompetent.” He also argued that the woman had no nursing or medical credentials and that the mother should have been transferred to a hospital. Instead of being transferred, the baby suffered brain injuries as a result of the botched delivery and died after three days. The attorney also noted that the baby was healthy, but that the delivery resulted in complications.
The certified midwife delivered the baby at home in the frank breech position. This position involves the baby’s buttocks facing the birth canal and its legs positioned straight up in front of its body. The feet are positioned closer to the head. Normally, a baby moves into the delivery position a few weeks prior to birth. However, in this case, the baby failed to do so. While babies born in this position may be healthy, there can be an increased risk for birth injuries than in normal births.
Throughout his young life, Gallegos overcame significant adversity due to his condition. He learned to walk at 2 years old, with the assistance of a walker. However, physical therapy helped improve his stride well enough that he did not need it by the time he reached Kindergarten. Gallegos initially wanted to join his high school’s football team, but his father Brent persuaded him to join the cross country team instead. Brent and Justin spoke to his high school’s cross country coaches Darren James and Larry David about possibly joining the team. Brent assured both coaches that their son could run three miles needed for a cross-country race, and Justin would have a strong work ethic.
ZHP-manufactured Valsartan could be found in various countries throughout the world. The relatively low manufacturing costs in China made it attractive for countries such as the United States to import it. While these generic drugs may be cheaper to make in China, there are fewer regulations that ensure these drugs are safely manufactured. This is the tradeoff that you get when buying some generic drug imports. As a result of the discovery of NDMA in ZHP-manufactured valsartan, the European Union, Taiwan, Canada, the United States, and South Korea announced successive
