MESSINA, Sicily � Italy's health minister traveled to Sicily on Monday to apologize to a new mother for an operating room fistfight between two doctors that led to her botched delivery.
Laura Salpietro, 30, had to have her uterus removed and her son Antonio suffered heart problems and possible brain damage following his birth Thursday in Messina's public hospital, Italian news reports said.
Health officials and Salpietro's husband, Matteo Molonia, say the two doctors disagreed about whether to perform a Caesarean section and came to blows while Salpietro was in labor. Molonia says the fight delayed the C-section by over an hour, leading to complications for mother and son. |
You could say the doctors are just being passionate about their jobs, but this sounds like ego more than anything else.
Pretty sad. Here's hoping mother and child will be OK.

It's looking like they won't.
