I don’t know what the medical malpractice laws are in Italy, but if this family doesn’t have legal recourse, it’s\u00a0a crime.<\/p>\r\n

In Messina, Sicily, a mother had to have her uterus removed and\u00a0her newborn sustained possible brain damage and heart problems after her two doctors got into a fist fight during the baby’s delivery last Thursday.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

\u00a0The incident at Messina’s public hospital\u00a0was such a disgrace and embarrassment that Italy’s health minister, Ferruccio Fazio, trekked to Sicily to apologize to Laura Salpietro, 30.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Her husband Matteo Molonia told officials that her two physicians disagreed about whether\u00a0Salpietro should have a\u00a0Caesarean section, and fists flew while the woman was in labor. One doctor grabbed the other by the neck and banged him into a wall, while the\u00a0other doctor punched a window and hurt his hand, according to BBC News.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

The fistfight wound up delaying\u00a0the C-section\u00a0for about an hour, which lead to the problems for Salpietro and her son Antonio.<\/p>\r\n

Physician, first do no harm. Why can’t some of them remember that?<\/p>\r\n
