Pat Van Bonn did a nice one for U of MI based on BREAST(1991).  This one is
for mothers.

If ANY one of these had been used in the 20/20 case that baby would not
have died.  Note the dates.  This info has been around long enough for
perinatal people to know and use it!  I still feel the blame lies with the
dr and hospital (for not providing mother with basic, vital info regard
input/output) and NY Medicaid (for lack of follow-up.)  The prosecutor is
prosecuting the wrong person!  But I think mom has excellent grounds for
wrongful death suits!!!

Sincerely, Pat in SNJ
