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.

Over the past two weeks, new known infections have dropped 26% and hospitalizations have fallen 24% meaning a bump in cases after the Christmas and New Year’s holidays is over.
Deaths, however, continue to rise. They typically lag a few weeks behind surges in new infections because it takes time for the coronavirus to take its deadly toll. The state on Saturday reported 13 new COVID-19 deaths. Over the past two weeks, the death rate has increased 25%.
