Mother Who Questions Vax at Hospital Has Newborn Taken Away

[Katee]

. . . Jodi had hoped to have a homebirth. After going into labor early and given the distance to the nearest hospital, Jodi and her husband Scott were advised by their midwife to call an ambulance and get to the hospital.

Jodi and Scott’s baby girl was born in the ambulance in the parking lot of Hershey Medical Center. Attending personnel at the government run facility took charge of “Annie” and Jodi very quickly.

Jodi was unable to see and hold Annie after the birth and hospital personnel were totally unresponsive when she continued to inquire about her newborn. Jodi was also given an injection of oxytocin without first being told what it was. Hospital personnel only inquired whether she was allergic after the injection was given. . .

. . . a doctor told Jodi that Annie had scored a 9 out of 10 on the APGAR test given to newborns which was very good considering that an 8 or above indicates a healthy child.

A short time later, a different doctor told Jodi that Annie was very sick and would need to stay in the hospital. This doctor also arrogantly indicated his dislike for midwives with the comment “too many people think they know what they’re doing."

I read the article. Like you, I was pretty outraged. The comment section on that site seems to have evolved into an anti government rant. This episode (at least as it seems to me) was the result of some overzealous hospital personnel and an arrogant, full of merde (means the same in French and Spanish) doctor. I would suspect the influence that the drug companies have over our medical system is the culprit here. I have always believed that a government of the people and by the people is not to be feared. What I worry about is when multinational corporations buy off politicians who then legislate according to their corporate masters rather than the will of the people. That's the problem with US politics these days on both sides of the aisle. Just an aside, I delivered my own son in a little house deep in the Ozarks. It's quite the story if anyone wants to know it.
