Newborn baby found alive in morgue
A newborn in Argentina was found very much alive in a morgue by her mother 12 hours after hospital staff had declared the baby dead.The mother, Analia Bouguet, tells TeleNoticias TV that the hospital still has issued her only a death certificate for the infant rather than a birth certificate. Bouguet said she is planning to pursue a medical malpractice suit.
The Daily Mail reports that the baby was Bouguet's fifth and was born prematurely.
Two hours after being issue a death certificate, Bouguet and her husband visited the morgue because they wanted to see their child one more time.
"The baby was there and they put the little casket on a stretcher. We looked for a bar to pry it open," the baby's father, Fabian Veron, said in a press conference. "My wife looked and uncovered it slowly. She saw the little hand and then uncovered the face. That's when it let the first little cry out."

Something is wrong in that story and the whole hospital team has to answer to it.
God bless the baby
sure nough, it's a 'not effected' person talking here but I sure hope I can reason that way should I ever be the victim of a medical mistake myself
anyways... all's well that ends well .. cheers for the infant! may he/she have an awesome future
We can't expect perfection from humans when we are so imperfect. Mistakes and accidents do happen. They are inevitable no matter how well someone is trained. I don't believe in this "sue the pants of them" mentality that is so a part of our society now. So many doctors can't even practice medicine anymore because their insurance rates are so high.
I saw this few days ago on the news..,
This case is similar with many cases that happened many years ago in Spain, when the nurses said that babies are dead and actually they take them and gave them to other familli for money of course.
It's one of the very inspirational stories and the facts that there is one God above us...
