Mother sues hospital alleging doctors performed C-section without anesthesia
Posted: Friday, August 3, 2018 6:22 AM EDT Updated: Friday, August 3, 2018 6:34 AM EDT
Tri-City Medical Center in Oceanside, Calif. (Google Maps) (Meredith/AP) â€" A 26-year-old woman is suing a Southern California hospital, claiming she underwent a cesarean section without anesthesia.
The lawsuit filed last month claims the anesthesiologist on call didn't immediately answer pages at Tri-City Medical Center in Oceanside last November, so the emergency operation was performed without him.
Delfina Mota was more than 41 weeks pregnant when she was admitted and delivery became urgent after staff couldn't detect a fetal heart rate. The lawsuit says the mother passed out from the pain.
Her fiancé, Paul Iheanachor, told the Los Angeles Times he was waiting outside the operating room when he realized something was wrong.
“I heard the s creams, the horrific screams,†he told the newspaper. “That’s when I realized they were cutting her without anesthesia.â€
She ended up delivering a healthy baby girl.
The lawsuit by Mota and her fiance names the hospital, surgeon and the anesthesiologist. It alleges medical malpractice and assault and battery.
The hospital says it considers patient safety and quality its utmost priorities, but it can't otherwise comment.
