Absurd! I hope somebody hangs for this

Edit: if it's true that is...I rather expect that this story turns out fake.

Hmm, that sucks.

Having said that, the amount of infections floating around British hospitals at the moment, it might be healthier just to risk giving birth in the street or something. At least whatever infects you will probably respond to antibiotics.

I started chuckling at that - then realized it's probably true of any hospital :shudder:

Watch the video it's true. It happened around May of '05 though.

This is from a year later and she still hasn't been told why and how she got infected.

Flesh eating bacteria? Sounds too x-files. Is this legit?

What's striking is that it apparently affected all 4 limbs... that's almost too hard to believe. Makes you wonder.

Yes, it sounds like they had to be kinda injected into all four limbs. Which may of course have happened while someone used infected gloves while treating her or so. That may also be the reason the hospital doesn't want to give information. Someone might have screwed up and infected her.

In any case I think she is a really strong woman since she can apparently deal rather well with that tragedy only a year after it happened.

And I don't know why this should be made-up, just watch the videos, and those bacteria I heard of before.
