Hospital gave girl miscarried foetus to take home
by IconoclasT at 10:26 pm EDT, Jul 21, 2004

Auckland, NZ: A hospital said yesterday it would give fresh guidance to staff after a doctor and nurse handed a 14-year-old girl her miscarried foetus in a specimen bottle and told her to take it home.

She took the 11-week foetus to her parents who stored it in the family's fridge overnight.

Staff at Bishop Auckland Hospital, in County Durham, part of a trust awarded the top three-star rating on Tuesday, did not offer any explanation but later sent a midwife and an undertaker to collect it when the girl's parents complained.

I can understand keeping something like an extracted tooth but a fetus?

That is terribley gross, and un-hygienic as well, but WTF? a 14 yr old pregnant? Seemed like her parents were just so understanding of her pregnancy.... Geez... I dont remember exactly what I was interested in when I was 14 but it sure as hell wasnt having sex!!
