Wow. Shit can happen in medicine but that coverup seems worse than the already terrible situation.

At approximately 8:40 p.m., Ross was fully dilated and instructed to begin pushing. The complaint says the baby stopped descending due to shoulder dystocia while being delivered vaginally and Dr. Tracey St. Julian, M.D., reportedly attempted to deliver the baby vaginally using different methods, including applying traction to the baby's head.
Dr. St. Julian reportedly decided to perform a STAT Cesarean section at approximately 11:49 p.m. The baby's body and legs were delivered at 12:11 a.m. and the baby's head was delivered vaginally.

😱

Traction = pulling on the head. Sounds like they pulled the baby's head off trying to get it unstuck, or it happened during the C-section. Either way, totally horrific. I wonder how common this sort of thing is?

When, Ross and Taylor demanded to see and hold their child, the baby was reportedly tightly wrapped in a blanket with his head "propped on top of his body" to conceal the fact that he was decapitated.

WTF.

What in the actual fuck. There is something called "internal decapitation" where you rip the skull off the spine but the skin and muscles stay intact. You're still almost certainly dead, but I assumed that's what this was. It would take a lot of force but not as much as it would to rip the whole fucking thing off.

I have seen some shit, and this story is making me sick.
