golden gordon Posted 31 August 2006 Posted 31 August 2006 sad story but there seems to be two sides to this
lookwhaticando Posted 31 August 2006 Posted 31 August 2006 That's really quite distressing, I imagine. Could only be worse, if they had suggested carting her home in a f/cking wheelbarrow
Head Honcho Posted 31 August 2006 Author Posted 31 August 2006 sad story but there seems to be two sides to this I've just seen the lady on the news and she's in no doubt that the Nurse suggested she could take her child home with her in the car. Apparently some parents do take their deceased home with them, but normally the hospital staff wait for the parents to suggest it first. I think on this occasion the nurse jumped the gun slightly probably thinking it was what the mother wanted to hear! Her heart might have been in the right place and on another occasion it may have had a different response. I find it bizarre that parents are allowed to do this anyway, it like something from the dark ages.

If it's a common enough thing to do, then fair enough... but the bloody nurse shouldn't go around suggesting it when the child has only been deceased for a matter of minutes, even if it is common practice! Perhaps it's just a subconcious slip - but either way, it's still a regrettable incident.

Thracian Posted 31 August 2006 Posted 31 August 2006 My instincts say it would be nice to know alll the facts and reasoning from both sides before making judgements.

General's not all it's cracked up to be, today anyway. In fact, I think FoxesTalk as a collective is on holiday right now. No fun here, matey!
Rincewind Posted 1 September 2006 Posted 1 September 2006 I'm becoming a little disillusioned with the official site. I got a load of stick the other day for mentioning that a post written entirely in CAPITAL LETTERS with no punctuation or paragraphs hurt my eyes when reading. Despite the level of mentality we sometimes see on Foxestalk, surprisingly, we don't see that kind of post on here.

Cat Burger Posted 1 September 2006 Posted 1 September 2006 Well she didn't end up taking her home in the car did she? So never mind.
stez Posted 2 September 2006 Posted 2 September 2006 why did she have to take her home in the first place? i thought, obviously wrongly in this case, thatthe body went for a post mortum and then the funeral people came and kept the body until the funeral! i've never known any of my deceased relatives wind up back home before the funeral! there is, as has been said, more to this than meets the eye
Guest Posted 3 September 2006 Posted 3 September 2006 I think they only carry out post mortems when the cause of death is not known, or if there are suspicious circumstances and/or looking for evidence.
Head Honcho Posted 3 September 2006 Author Posted 3 September 2006 I think they only carry out post mortems when the cause of death is not known, or if there are suspicious circumstances and/or looking for evidence. Can anyone tell me is it only children you can do this with or does the same apply to adults? I know logistically it would be difficult but I still find it bizarre that they allow it to happen
