'Terrible mistake': Minnesota hospital sends stillborn baby to laundry service
Wed Apr 17, 2013
- My daughter was stillborn, and when we were finished saying our goodbyes, the nurses took her from us, wrapped in a blanket, and put her in a bassinet. Her face was uncovered when they took her from me, but when we left the room I don't know - so I can see that if they then covered her face, and the …

Fri Jan 30, 2009
- As far as I know she hasn't asked for help from manufacturer's yet. And as for the doctor's not being able to decide - well they can counsel against implanting so many embryos (if in fact somebody did, as opposed to her taking drugs to increase ovulation) - but if she had 8 in there, they can't for …
