Show Notes
In 2009, Sophia Hemmings suffered a cardiac arrest during a C-section, leaving her severely brain-damaged due to oxygen deprivation. Her family blames medical negligence, citing unaddressed risks like obesity. Their case reached the Supreme Court of Canada after lower courts disagreed on liability. Coroners reports reveal recurring issues in Ontarios obstetric care, including poor monitoring, resource shortages, and hemorrhages, leading to numerous maternal and neonatal deaths. Families share their devastating experiences, while experts highlight fixable problems like underestimating blood loss and communication gaps. As the Supreme Court considers Sophias case, the need for systemic change in maternal care is underscored to prevent future tragedies.
