An OB wrongful death suit where a C-section wasn’t done soon enough. Was it because they had to wait for the anesthesiologist?
The prosecution argues Evans waited too long to perform a c-section.Tuesday’s testimony centered around 30 critical minutes where protocol says a c-section should begin within a half hour of a patient’s deteriorating condition.
“She was bleeding the way she was bleeding, we have to do something and they failed to do it,” said Michael Drebitko, Caleb’s grandfather.
Expert witnesses testified that if Dr. Jason Evans had been more proactive when Casey Taylor began bleeding, baby Caleb would “most likely” be alive today…a tough pill for Drebitko to swallow.
“Very difficult…very.”
The defense argues Evans could not begin the c-section until the anesthesiologist arrived at the hospital, but Drebitko says the blame still falls on Evans.
