This is a true story. Were you the one chosen to decide, how much would you give this mother in compensatory damages? A mom goes into the hospital to give birth to her baby. A csection is required due to babys large size. After c-section, mom needs to be taken to ICU and receive 6 units of blood. After another exploratory surgery, they discover that while the Dr was suturing the csection, she sutured through a part of moms bowel, causing massive bleeding and severe infection. Mom goes on to need 8 more surgeries, and codes 4 times because all the infection got into bloodstream and caused a systemic sepsis, which caused a heart infection which progressed into heart failure. She was in a medical coma for nearly 4 months and didnt see her newborn until he was over 4 months old. She still has the heart failure, and is unable to have any more children. What would you award her, if anything? Any punishment to the Dr?
