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? Hospital gave girl miscarried foetus to take home |
