AllGov reports that military personnel cannot sue the government for medical malpractice. The article stems from the story of Cindy Wilson. Ms. Wilson was in the U.S. Air Force when she gave birth to her first child at Langley Air Force Base.
The doctors handling the delivery performed a cesarean section, and inadvertently, severed Ms. Wilson's uterine artery causing massive internal bleeding. Two surgical sponges were even left inside Wilson's body. The baby survived, while the mother died 12 hours later.
