Police investigating, lawsuit filed after baby allegedly decapitated during delivery at metro Atlanta hospital
Police are now investigating after a lawsuit alleging a baby was decapitated during delivery on July 9 was filed against Southern Regional Medical Center and others.
Wait is this the second time this happened?
My exact thought was, “AGAIN!?”

What the fuck?
It's easier than it looks. Babies are fragile, and you potentially have to pull very hard to get them out.
Every time something bad happens they go right to "failed to perform a C-section. But that's a calculated risk in and of itself. They're not refusing out of laziness. It's easier for them to do surgery than deal with a complicated delivery. But going into emergency surgery is not your first choice.
