0:39Now PlayingA man in Australia sued the hospital where he watched his wife deliver a baby via cesarean-section birth in 2018, claiming it caused him a “psychotic illness.”
New dad Anil Koppula filed the lawsuit several years after the successful operation, declaring that the experience led to a “breakdown of his marriage.”
In the documents filed to support his suit, “Mr. Koppula alleges that he was encouraged, or permitted, to observe the delivery, that in the course of doing so, he saw his wife’s internal organs and blood.”
Additionally, Koppula claims “that the Hospital breached a duty of care it owed to him and is liable to pay him damages.”
His lawsuit seeks damages from the Royal Women’s Hospital in Melbourne in the amount of 1 billion Australian dollars, the equivalent of more than 642 million US dollars.
A C-section is the surgical delivery of a baby through an incision made in the mother’s abdomen and uterus, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. Health-care providers use it when they believe it is safer for the mother and/or the baby.
