Another Turn in the Journey

A year ago a malpractice case made the front page of the Baltimore Sun, it played on the nightly news.

Do you remember my post Homebirth and Loss? In it I shared about the medical malpractice case that was all over the news here in MD last June.

In an incredible turn… the decision was OVERTURNED!

The Court of Appeals has heard the information regarding Evelyn Muhlhan’s negligence during Fielding’s labor at home and decided that precluding it from the trial was abuse.

There was a void of evidence that left a logical hiatus in the story because the jury was not allowed to hear what role Midwife Muhlhan’s conduct played.

But, the media is not covering it.

The other night Vince and I read through all 57 pages in the record. We were left in awe. Nothing was left out. The details are disgusting.

Even our complaint against Muhlhan is mentioned (note 14 on page 10).

As hard as it is to read it all, there is peace in knowing that her negligence is getting attention.

Why is this not being brought to the public’s attention?

When will the Maryland Board of Nursing finally complete their investigation? Why is Muhlhan still suspended? What will it take for her license to be revoked?

This September should have been Miranda’s 2nd birthday… maybe by then this chapter will close.
