Overview

In this case, an infant-plaintiff alleged that obstetricians/gynecologists did not use proper care in their performance of a cesarean delivery, resulting in a brachial plexus injury in the infant.

Instructions

Read If a Patient Is Noncompliant, Can the OB/GYN Be at Fault? Then, write a 1–2 page report in which you:

1. Analyze three main points relevant to the case. Consider if there were issues in explaining the injury, and whether the defense proved that the mother was noncompliant with the care recommended by her provider.
2. Argue the case as to why you agree or disagree with the outcome providing three points to support your rationale.
