Midwife ‘ignored pleas as baby died’

Staff at one of London’s top teaching hospitals ignored a man’s pleas for help as his newborn baby died, an inquest was told yesterday.

Iain Croft, 42, a journalist for the BBC’s World Service, told the inquest that staff at the Royal Free Hospital left him to monitor his child’s faltering heart rate after his wife, Heather Paterson, 43, had begged to see a doctor.

Their son, Riley, died of asphyxia 35 minutes after being born, on March 25, 2005, after a ten-hour labour.

Giving evidence at St Pancras Coroner’s Court, Mr Croft said that the couple were initially turned away from the hospital when they reported to have their baby induced. He said: “They said no beds were available. In fact we were taunted by some staff who said, ’There’s no room at the inn, you’ll have to go home’.”

The couple waited nearly eight hours the next day to see a doctor, before a midwife who induced the birth told Ms Paterson that she was a “silly girl” who was not really in pain.

Mr Croft said that a midwife had told them, “very firmly” that she would induce the birth herself, by applying the gel Prostin, which immediately left his wife in crippling pain. He said: “Heather’s arms and legs were convulsing because of the intense pain.

“Heather was becoming very distressed because of the pain and was literally screaming for someone to come and help her with pain relief or give her a Caesarean section.

“I asked several times if my wife could be seen by a doctor and we were refused. The midwife kept saying to her that her pain was not real. She said ‘no pain, no gain. This is what you have to go through, this is what it’s like’. . . . At some time she said to my wife, ‘You are a silly girl. You don’t deserve this baby. I’m going to take it off you’. Six hours later the baby was dead.”

Just horrible.








Out of the gloom a voice spake unto me. 'Smile and be happy, Things could get worse."
So I smiled and was happy, and behold... Things did get worse.

Re: Midwife ‘ignored pleas as baby died’ (UK)

Tragic.. But lets look a bit closer..

He works for the feminazi BBC.. No doubt they will be keen to sensationalise the few flippant remarks for the female audience..

His wife is 43.. hardly prime breeding material..

Could it be perhaps that her ridiculous hysterical attention seeking and privelidged princess syndrome made it difficult for the staff to deal with her?

I have much (to say the least) experience of watching women giving birth and I have noted that the women working there have incredible patience having to deal with women who seem to be getting more and more arkward, demanding and terrified of the natural process of childbirth..

There is indeed some poor service in the health sector, but that may be a lot to do with the standard of patients they have to deal with wearing down the staff..

I have noted that well behaved and "brave" women get treated a lot better and more couteously by the staff than those who shriek, scream and demand the impossible..

Disagree Marx, but without any antipathy to you personally. It's the result of standard procedures.

Courtesy yes, treatment no.

Ten years ago in the UK, my Filipina wife was nearing her term and suddenly experienced severe pain. Her English was poor so I called the local hospital that was responsible for her pregnancy care. They said it might be the onset of labour or it might not. "Tell her to take a warm bath."

Things went from bad to worse. I eventually yelled down the phone,"this poor woman is bleeding - surely somebody can take a look at her??"
A tired laconic female voice said, "Ok, Bring her in".

Within ten minutes of arrival a young male doctor examined her. His fat female student kept asking questions like," Is it encephallic?". She didn't give a f*ck about us she was looking to notch up some points on her student record.
The male doctor was direct, "I'm sorry, your baby has died".
My wife was consequently forced to endure a prolonged labour, merely to deliver a stillborn child. The autopsy revealed nothing and 'The Hospital' paid for the funeral. Our son slowly decomposes in a special plot for stillborns, 5000 miles away from where we now live.

Unfortunately (or fortunately), I don't work for the BBC (SPIT- VOMIT!!).

But something must have registered, deep within the secret files of the NHS.
My wife's next pregnancy had the Senior Consultant and a brilliant young African 2IC watching closely. Healthy male twins were delivered by CS at 8 months - smooth as clockwork.

They are now safe in the 'corrupt' east.



The traditional male weapons in the sex war are non-cooperation and flight.The traditional female weapon is celebration of paternity and male responsibility. If women now choose to define this as patriarchal oppression, they are throwing away their best trick. Feminism, in dismantling patriarchy, is simply reviving the underlying greater natural freedom of men. - Geoff Dench 1998 (edited)

Re: Midwife ‘ignored pleas as baby died’ (UK)

It was well known in the past that childbirth was a highly risky business..

Its hard to imagine. even with todays great advances in technology and monitoring etc, that the risk can be removed totally.. (Especially when the staff dont take proper note of what is going on..)

I remember at one of the ante-natal classes I attended, the women telling us how it was proudly boasted that they had never witnessed a woman die in childbirth..

But, they of course had witnessed quite a few still births etc..

My latest breeder has been very unhappy about her treament by the health service incompetents during the process..

On certain occasions, consent was needed for a few matters, and the mother was babbling and not able to give that consent, of course I (as the father,) was not able to give it on her behalf either.. No matter what the midwife said or did, she could get no sense from the mother..

"Just stick the needle in, its fine.." I said..

But no, that would not do..

So I had to focus the mothers attention and get her to "Just say yes woman!!"..

And that was good enough..

She immedietely agreed..

Cant upset the mother can we? They have "rights" you know.. Even when they are not able to think straight..
