Poor girl.



You should be able to trust doctors, but sometimes even the professionals can go wrong.

A trial date has been set for January 2013 against a doctor who misdiagnosed an ectopic pregnancy in 2005. After Rachel Schoger from Idaho, USA, was given the information that her pregnancy was ectopic, she decided to go through with the abortion. However, a few days after she had her first injection to abort her little girl, doctors discovered that her pregnancy hadn't been ectopic after all and her baby was still alive.
Little Seraphine was born in January 2006 without a rectum, a vagina or a uterus, and with problems with her spine due to the injection given by the doctor.
She is healthier now though after a number of operations, but her parents are worried that her spinal issues will cause her problems in the future, and she will never be able to have children of her own.
This was a seriously stupid mistake for the doctor to make, and although they have been able to improve her quality of life, she will never be 'normal' and will suffer for the rest of her life. The poor little girl deserves more, and I hope the doctor responsible gets a prison sentence for what they've done to this girl's life. Not only does it affect her, it has also changed her family's lives, this could have been avoided with a second opinion at the time.
