Lesti Maj ppa Zayliah Meade v Yale New Haven Hospital (Filed in New Haven March 2013) Our client was laboring with her first baby and after many hours asked for a c-section. The doctors ignored her repeated requests and instead attempted a vacuum extraction. The extraction was attempted multiple times and caused skull fractures, brain swelling, and neurological damage. We are very sensitive to bringing cases in the area of birthing because it is often not fair to blame medical staff for the normal risks associated with childbirth. Here however the doctors intervened in such a reckless manner and without regard to the expressed desires of our client and her husband who serves in the US military. The child will need life long care.
