Error kills swine flu victim's baby
A medical blunder has killed the baby born prematurely to Spain's first fatal swine flu victim, doctors said.
The boy was delivered on June 29 via Caesarean section as his 28-week-pregnant mother's condition worsened, and she died the next day. Doctors later said the baby did not have swine flu.
Madrid's Gregorio Maranon Hospital said the child died because of an error by nursing staff.
On Sunday night the baby was fed intravenously, rather than with the proper technique for premature babies: With a tube into the stomach.
