This resident of Chelles (Seine-et-Marne) relies on new reports questioning motherhood.
After strong contractions, Marlène underwent a caesarean nearly an hour and a half after her arrival in the maternity ward, while no cardiac activity was detected in the baby.
The baby died three days later.
The mother wants “the hospital to assume its responsibilities” for the failing management of her retroplacental hematoma (placental abruption).
An “emergency malfunction”
The complainant brought the conclusions of the Regional Health Agency (ARS), and the Conciliation and Compensation Commission for Medical Accidents (CCI).
