It's like something out of some sick comedy sketch. Except with actual human suffering.
Officials with Southern Regional Medical Center issued a statement saying that “this unfortunate infant death occurred in utero prior to the delivery and decapitation,” and said that the doctor who delivered the baby, Tracy St. Julian is not “and never has been” an employee of the hospital.
I wish it was.
it's common for doctors in private practice to have privileges at local hospitals to practice, see patients, perform procedures, surgeries, etc.
part of that doctor's service fee is paid to the hospital for this privilege.
I love that they are going with the "it's not the OB's fault and even if it were, they don't work for us." That guide is actually worse than if they just denied it was their fault. What they admitted is that they admitted a woman who was in labor and did not assign a doctor to her but instead let a random woman help deliver and decapitate the baby. That is a systemic issue and clearly the people managing the hospital should be named from operating any hospital ever again.

I can't think of a more appropriate response.

"Officials... said that the doctor who delivered the baby, Tracy St. Julian is not “and never has been” an employee of the hospital."
How does that work?
A doctor can have practice rights at a hospital but not work for the hospital. So the OBGYN can deliver babies and do C-sections and such but isn't an employee of the hospital.
And that's enough for the hospital to think they're not responsible for what they do in their building?
No they are just trying to draw a definitive line between the two entities. Doctors private practice vs the hospital. Probably for legal reasons but mostly for PR reasons. You know so they can argue that there was nothing to indicate Dr. Bebe Decapitator would decapitate a baby prior to actually doing so and that the doctor was very much a really real doctor that knew medical stuff so please don't make us pay lotses of money for the doctor doing a naughty.
It's a way to make it sound like it wasn't their fault for hiring bad doctors

If I know my movies and TV shows, you go into the locker room and steal someone's lab coat and everyone thinks you belong.
Or your boss invites your estranged wife to just work there without telling anyone she's coming. Oh and then you hire the guy she slept with. And everyone is fucking everyone all the time. Including patients.
I swear, if Seattle Grace had an HR department they're probably all alcoholics.

Doctors sometimes work as contractors for different hospitals.

Ok, so from the article, the doctor attempted to puke that baby out and decapitated in the process. They had to do a c section to get the body out separately. The doctor then just tells the parents the baby died, not how it died. The parents find out at the nursing home the baby was decapitated.
So they hire a pathologist to do a post mortem analysis on the body and the pathologist POSTS GRAPHIC PHOTOS OF THE BODY ON HIS INSTAGRAM.
the doctor attempted to puke that baby out
Well that's... quite the visual.
The previous article about the story that this one links to says the doctor not only lied, they also tried to cover it up by wrapping the baby up so tightly the parents couldn’t tell its head wasn’t attacked, and saying they couldn’t get the free autopsy they were eligible for and that they should cremate the body. Wtf.

Nope I'm out.
Noah, get the boat.
Jesus Christ.
I didn't even know that was possible. Are they really that delicate that you can decapitate them just by pulling? That's horrifying.
Based on the article the doctor spent hours pulling and contorting the baby's head. So, Im guessing that no it's not something you can do just by pulling i.e. something went very wrong here, hence an investigation and possibly criminal charges in the near future.
