Having a baby should be one of the most joyful times in your life. The pain that comes when you discover your child has preventable birth injuries is devastating and infuriating. When doctors, medical professionals and hospitals make mistakes, they may try to blame it on circumstances "beyond their control" when the truth is that they were not following proper procedure or paying attention.
