Shoulder Dystocia Case: Blue Earth County Is Jury Still Out
The jury is still out in a shoulder dystocia case against the Mankato Clinic and one of its obstetricians.
Plaintiffs medical malpractice claim is premised the argument that pre-birth measurements of the fetus were suggested a exceptionally large baby and that a C-section would have been the appropriate course given the risks to large children in childbirth.
The “should have had a c-section” argument is still difficult to make based on the current medical literature. But Plaintiffs also argue that infant plaintiff’s shoulder dystocia injury could have been avoided if the OB/GYN had not pulled the baby’s head during delivery.
