medical intervention

As part of the faith, Horner and his family don't believe in medical intervention. So when it was time for his wife to give birth to her first child, it was done at home without a doctor, a nurse or a midwife . . . the baby came out breach and was hanging out backward, caught at the neck, . . . Caleb didn't know what the heck he's doing -- he has no medical training, he's not a doctor, he doesn't know what he's doing. He takes the scissors and cuts her and performs an episiotomy. The baby finally comes out, and the baby's dead . . . The medical examiner told Caleb, 'Caleb I understand your beliefs. All it will take is an antibiotic and Misty will be OK,' and Caleb said no . . A month later, Misty Horner died (from septic shock)..Doug and I went to school with this guy(he lived on Doug's floor) he apparently went to a pretty strict church that did not believe in medical intervention.. pretty scary stuff
