Reuters has a report on a couple in Chile that was forced to deliver their newborn in the bathroom after waiting for 2 hours to see a doctor at a public hospital.
What's nice (well, relatively nice) is that the government apologized. "We are very sad about what has happened and worried about this
incredible incident, and we are going to take the appropriate
measures," Health Minister Maria Soledad Barria told Radio Cooperativa. I could be wrong but I can't imagine hospital officials in the U.S. admitting that they made a mistake quite this easily. Of course, they still had to deliver the kid in the freakin' bathroom. Maybe next time they'll try a home birth.
