What the midwife says

The midwife report states

1) that there were atypical variable decelerations for 2 hours and 30 minutes. For the midwife - at the birth, not the report writing one - not to have informed the registrar was 'substandard care'

2) for 1 hour and 35 minutes there were persistent late decelerations and the midwife should have asked the registrar for a review, not to have done so was 'substandard care'

3) that the continued use and increase in the rate of Syntocinon in the presence of a pathological CTG (the late decelerations) was 'substandard care'

So none of it was my fault. Repeat.

A Dr. has been asked to comment on the use of the machine and whether too much reliance was placed on it by unqualified staff. I wonder why this question needs to be asked as clearly that is what happened. But this is the way the case is to be built. I am only interested in sending the latter of claim so that the hospital know how badly they treated us both.
