What the fuck? Is the entire hospital staff on crack or something?
I am going to assume the woman is sane and rational. Therefore, following my train of logic, I think she would therefore be aware ahead of time if she had something as serious as a flesh eating bacteria. I doubt that is something you just wake up with. It requires contracting from some form of carrier.
Therefore, it stands to reason that she most likely contracted it in the hospital.
So who in the bloody blue blazes let someone with streptocaccus into a natal ward? How could there possibly be something capable of infecting her any where near her? Does the staff of that hospital understand the term "biohazard'?
She has to sue them to find out what happened? Hell, they should be providing her with prostethics and physcial therapy of the highest caliber at their expense! And anyone associated with the ward during her stay should be looking for a new job. They obviously don't know how to keep a hospital.
