UPBN gets mention in news story (reader comments anyway)

Post by mbeirne »

The following link is a story in the Oct. 22 Chicago Tribune about a Chicago couple winning their malpractice lawsuit for injuries their son sustained during delivery. UBPN.com is mentioned in the reader feedback.

I could not keep reading after the first few comments, it just makes me sick how ignorant some people could be. Second I don't understand why politics had to be brought into the comments.

Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: My name is Bridget, my son Brayden has a LOBPI. He was born 5-14-07 and weighted 11lbs 3ozs and was 22inches long and got stuck on my pelvis coming out. All 5 nerves were involved 2 ruptured and 3 avulsed, and also had Horner's Syndrome. He had primary surgery in St. Louis with Dr. Parks when he was 3 months old. He used synthetic materials to fuse the nerves together, because the nerves in his calves were not long enough. Brayden currently does aqua therapy, PT, OT and speech therapy. He has little movement in his arm and hand, but that does not stop him from having fun and being a normal boy!!!
