Wed 02 Feb 2010Birth injuries due to prescription drug, court told
A YOUNG girl suffered serious injuries at birth due to alleged negligence by psychiatrist Prof Patricia Casey and a consultant obstetrician Dr Mary Hol0han in the treatment of her mother before and during her pregnancy, it has been claimed at the High Court.
It is claimed that Rebecca McGillin, now aged eight, was exposed to a risk of injury as a result of alleged failure of the defendants to properly assess the nature and type of prescription drugs being taken before and after pregnancy by her mother Lisa Glynn McGillin, who, it is claimed was diagnosed by Prof Casey some years earlier as having mild bi-polar disorder.
