Montreal Children’s Hospital faces a $3.5 million lawsuit for allegedly putting a couple’s severely disabled newborn daughter back on life support without their consent.
Phebe Mantha was born on November 5, 2007 at another Montreal hospital, where she allegedly suffered complications during birth, the National Post reports.
She was transferred to Montreal’s Children’s Hospital, where doctors told her parents Marie-Eve Laurendeau and Stephane Manthe, that she would never be able to breathe or feed on her own.
They were also told that she would be deaf and dumb and would never see or walk.
