In Albany Medical Center family waits for birth of Diane McCabe's second child. She went to the hospital thinking she was going to have a normal vaginal delivery but instead after 10 hours of labor her obstetrician thought a cesarean would be best. After having her uterine arteries cut and torn during the surgery, she began internally bleeding. Her obstetrician and midwife present argued over how to treat her and sadly she wasn't treated fast enough either way and bled to death. She lost three quarts of blood, which is 60% of total volume of the blood in her body. Her family is pursuing a lawsuit of the hospital, for they believe it was a wrongful death and doctors killed their loved one. The hospital says that no wrongdoing took place.

This story hits very close to home, to close for comfort actually. I feel so bad for the family who grieves over their lost. Unfortunately being in a similar situation after giving birth to my son I lost a great amount of blood and had to recieve two quarts of blood through an iv. Im just happy that I'm still here today and it's not my family grieving. It just also makes me thankful for donor who give blood making it accesible in times of neeed. But back to this sad case I believe there is more to this story something should have been done to save her life and her family should be paid for their lost, even though unfortunately it won't bring back Diane McCabe. MAY HER SOUL R.I.P!
