Man Seeks $1 Billion in Lawsuit, Blaming Wife's C-Section for Traumatic Mental Distress

A man in Australia attempted to sue a Melbourne hospital for A$1 billion ($643 million) after claiming that watching his wife undergo a cesarean section caused him to develop a "psychotic illness." He alleged that the hospital "encouraged" him to watch the procedure and that seeing his wife's organs and blood led to his mental health deterioration. However, the court dismissed the lawsuit, deeming it an "abuse of process," as a medical examination concluded that the alleged psychological effect on the man was insufficient.
