Lawsuit alleges Georgia doctor decapitated baby during delivery

A lawsuit has been filed against Dr. Tracey St. Julian and Southern Regional Medical Center in Georgia, alleging that the doctor used excessive force during delivery, resulting in the decapitation of a baby. The parents, Jessica Ross and Treveon Isaiah Taylor Sr., claim that the hospital covered up the incident and denied their request for a C-section earlier. The lawsuit also accuses the hospital staff of attempting to conceal the decapitation by discouraging an autopsy and manipulating the baby's body. The suit seeks unspecified punitive damages and highlights the higher rates of infant and maternal mortality for Black women. Southern Regional denies the allegations and states that it has taken appropriate steps in response to the situation.
