A confidential settlement has been reached in a medical malpractice lawsuit brought by a woman who was sent home from a hospital while in labor and gave birth on her bathroom floor four hours later.
The baby, born in 2008, had no pulse and wasn't breathing. Rescue workers gave him oxygen and CPR while they transported him by ambulance to Southern Regional Medical Center. An emergency room doctor was able to intubate the baby immediately, but by then he'd gone without breathing for 15 minutes, according to the complaint. The case was being prepared for trial before Clayton County State Court Judge Michael Garrett.
