"ORLANDO, Fla. -- A Sanford mother says she will never be able to hold her newborn because an Orlando hospital performed a life-altering surgery and, she claims, the hospital refuses to explain why they left her as a multiple amputee. The woman filed a complaint against Orlando Regional Healthcare Systems, she said, because they won't tell her exactly what happened. The hospital maintains the woman wants to know information that would violate other patients' rights. Claudia Mejia gave birth eight and a half months ago at Orlando Regional South Seminole. She was transported to Orlando Regional Medical Center in Orlando where her arms and legs were amputated. She was told she had streptococcus, a flesh eating bacteria, and toxic shock syndrome, but no further explanation was given."

My theory is the kids were aliens, and ate her flesh.

Well, it took her 8 months to write a letter saying this, someone give her a hand!

1/22/2006 12:49:25 PM

WTF

They cut off her fucking arms and legs and they won't tell her why?!! She should be suing them for massive money, not just a fucking explanation!

1/22/2006 12:50:21 PM

yeah, this sounds like a very legit case for a massive lawsuit.

Someone get John Edwards on this.

oh wait, this one could be legit, he won't touch it.

1/22/2006 1:01:44 PM

holy shit that's awful, that poor girl. she was so young, too

1/22/2006 1:07:30 PM

Firechicken did that, not me, shawn!

I'm kinda suprised, she's not the first.

Where was her husband during all of this?? You'd think he'd be by her side while she's giving birth.

WHAT MORE EXPLANATION DO YOU NEED.

1/22/2006 11:00:54 PM

she needs to find out how she could have contracted that disease, since it was probably the hospital's fault.

1/22/2006 11:25:46 PM

You don't just pick up stuff like that on the street. Sounds like the hospital had sub-par sterilization and infection prevention procedures, in which case, there are some doctors and nurses that deserve to be out of a job. If you're too lazy to take the proper santiation precautions, get out of the medical business.

1/23/2006 12:10:21 AM

there are many cases of flesh eating bacteria yearly

1/23/2006 12:15:14 AM

she's latino. that's all you need to know.

1/23/2006 12:16:44 AM

that's what the hospital thought

they thought she'd just accept it and move on

1/23/2006 2:29:24 AM

i hate it when i get that flesh-eating bacteria

1/23/2006 3:01:06 AM

yo mama so fat, she was diagnosed with flesh-eating bacteria and was given another 75 years to live

While a man is generally required to make a baby, his actual presence need not come into play for the rest of the child and mother's lives.

it would be awesome to win a bazillion dollars, but damn, she still doesn't have her arms or legs...

1/23/2006 10:32:47 AM

yeah, but with all that money, they can hook up some cyborg shit.

the cyborg shit is just that, its shit. sure it looks cool and stuff, but it's slow and difficult to use due to the sensitivity in the sensors

1/23/2006 11:13:02 AM

i thought you could only get toxic shock syndrome from tampons...which she wouldn't be using during pregnancy

1/23/2006 4:46:17 PM

Only question that needs to be answered is this: is she legal?

1/23/2006 9:33:32 PM

^^ the toxic shock syndrome is caused by that bacteria which under normal conditions can only be built up to large amounts because of tampons

1/23/2006 9:35:43 PM

she could get one of those automated wheel chairs controlled by the mouth

this dude was bowling this weekend at buffalo lanes in one of those
