Medical misadventure - Irish style
An Irish jury has found that poor medical care led to the hospital death of Savita Halappanavar who was denied an abortion.
The jury made its ruling on Friday after a two-week coroner's inquest into the October death of Savita at University Hospital Galway in western Ireland.
The six-man, five-woman jury agreed that the 31-year-old Savita died from "medical misadventure" involving the failure of staff to identify, document or address her development of blood poisoning.
The jury endorsed the coroner's recommendations to improve patient care policies at the hospital and for Ireland's Medical Council to define precisely when abortions can be performed legally to save a woman's life.

Lady did not want that pregnancy right from the beginning. In fact, infection might have been caused due to some kind of non medical mechanical intervention tried by her family. Do you know the reasons for abortion in India are many folds which includes not wanting a female child.
Many Indian immigrants (like other citizens of that country) die or suffer due to medical negligence in the first world countries. What makes this case special is that issue of abortion is a bone of contention between Catholics & protestant political groups in Ireland & they are using this poor dead Indian woman for their own interests. If any Indian woman doesn't want a pregnancy in an early stage, she can always air travel to India before 20 weeks & get aborted & return to that Catholic country. There is no issue with that. My advise to all the Indian immigrants is if you stay in a foreign country, don't behave as if you own that country & never ever interfere or participate in their internal politics.
It was intended to wake up the locals not to blindly use or run to this hospitals in the first world which are worse off then the ones in the third world
Very sad, but what is you intention in posting this?
