ANOTHER NHS NIGHTMARE: BIRTHING MOM DIES IN TOILET

TOL: Mother who died giving birth in hospital toilet never saw twins
A woman died in labour in a hospital lavatory after her induction was delayed because of a lack of specialist staff, an inquest was told yesterday.

Sarah Underhill, a policewoman aged 37, was in her 36th week of pregnancy when she was admitted to hospital suffering from pre-eclampsia.

The birth was to have been induced because of her condition, which causes high blood pressure. She was admitted to the John Radcliffe Hospital, in Oxford, on October 2 last year but the procedure was planned for October 6. However, the day before she was due to be induced she collapsed in the toilet and was forced to call for help by banging on the door.

Doctors fought to save her twins, conceived by IVF, but she died without having seen them.
THIS IS WHAT OBAMA WANTS YOUR HEALTHCARE TO BE LIKE.

DISSENT ACCORDINGLY.
