Hospital to face lawsuit over newborn suffocating under mom's breast

Kamins
SALEM, Ore. (Legal Newsline) – A woman whose newborn suffocated under her breast at Portland Adventist Medical Center can proceed with a lawsuit for negligent infliction of emotional distress.
The Oregon Court of Appeals on Feb. 3 reinstated that claim in the case brought by Monica Thompson, whose four-day-old son Jacob died in the hospital’s maternity ward in August 2012.  The court found there is a question about whether Monica had a disabling mental condition that justifies waiting five years to sue Portland Adventist.
Staff there gave Monica medication to help her sleep the night before she was to take Jacob home. She was also on narcotic painkillers.
