In a recent incident that has raised concerns, a metro Atlanta doctor and a Clayton County hospital are currently facing a lawsuit after a delivery took a tragic turn in July. The case involves Dr. Tracey St. Julian, an obstetrician-gynecologist affiliated with Southern Regional Medical Center in Riverdale, Georgia.

The lawsuit alleges that Dr. St. Julian’s actions during delivery resulted in the decapitation of a baby, prompting accusations of negligence and a subsequent cover-up.

What did Dr Tracey St Julian do?

The lawsuit, filed by Jessica Ross and Treveon Taylor, centers around the delivery of their son at Southern Regional Medical Center on July 9. The details provided by their legal team describe a distressing situation: during the delivery process, complications arose, leading to shoulder dystocia. This condition occurs when the baby’s shoulders become stuck in the birth canal, creating a critical situation that requires medical intervention.

Despite the challenges, the lawsuit alleges that Dr. St. Julian did not promptly proceed with a necessary Cesarean section, a decision that may have contributed to the tragic outcome.

Instead, the medical team attempted various methods, including applying traction to the baby’s head, in an effort to complete the delivery. Ultimately, the baby’s head was delivered through a vaginal birth, tragically without proper attachment to the body, according to the lawsuit.

The parents’ legal team claims that Dr. St. Julian’s actions during the delivery involved excessive force, leading to the bones of the baby’s skull, face, and neck being broken. The suit further alleges that the hospital staff concealed the incident, depriving the parents of immediate information about their child’s fate.

Details from the lawsuit describe the aftermath: hospital staff wrapped the baby’s body tightly and positioned the head in a way that concealed the decapitation. The parents only learned the truth days later as they made arrangements at a crematorium.
