Failure to perform Ceaserean Section

A New York jury recently awarded a couple $5.5 million as a result of hospital negligence surrounding the birth of a baby. Apparently, the woman constantly complained of significant pain during her pregnancy and desired to have a Ceaserean section performed during labor.  This request was basically ignored by her attending physician. During natural birth, the woman suffered significant pelvic injuries as a result of the failure of the physician failing to perform a Ceaserean section.
