SOLVED178

Jim and Anna Pegman were expecting their first child to be born on August 6, but the due date passed uneventfully. The obstetrician explained that First babies are often late and assured them that all is normal.. when the baby was 11 days late, Anna Pegman woke with excruciating pain. Her husband rushed her to the hospital, but she was sent home again after examination by the physician in charge, Dr. Hill. Although the nurse had attached the fetal monitor, and the instrument recorded a heartbeat, indicating infant distress, Dr. Hill did not undertake the necessary surgical delivery. the reason the patient was sent home instead was that Dr. Hill, a medical resident, did not know how to read the fetal heart monitor, and was too embarrassed to call the supervising physician, or to make an inquiry of the nurse. When Anna Pegman delivered by normal birth, the next day, a baby girl named Alyssa was born. baby Alyssa was not normal, however. The failure to deliver her the proceeding day cause brain damage from insufficient oxygen. Assume that there is a finding a fact that this deprivation of oxygen caused to have cerebral palsy, although medical experts, provided conflicting testimony on this causation issue. she is expected to live a normal lifespan as a severely retarded and partially paralyzed person who will suffer constant physical discomfort. Ertz testify, that she will never be able to walk, talk, or feed herself, nor will she gain bladder and control. Otherwise, she will grow to normal adult size. by the time of the malpractice trial on these facts, Alyssa is three. She is unable to lift her head, turn herself over, or lift a box. She requires special chairs, special swings, and special toys. Assuming liability is established, how should damages be measured?
