医生罗宾·玛丽·詹姆斯因涉嫌过失杀人被起诉，案件与患者维基·巴特勒在家庭分娩后死亡有关[1]。布里斯班最高法院的陪审团已于周一被解散，案件将于周四再次提及[1]。
根据控方指控，41岁的巴特勒于2017年12月27日在伊普斯维奇家中分娩后死亡[1]。巴特勒在凌晨3时22分至4时07分之间完成分娩，詹姆斯医生于凌晨5时抵达现场，但直到6时42分才拨打救护车[1]。巴特勒因产后出血身亡，送医后医院输血23个单位，晚上6时15分被宣布死亡[1]。詹姆斯被指控在识别产后出血症状方面存在医疗过失，并因延迟求救而应承担责任[1]。
A jury in Brisbane's Supreme Court has been discharged in the case against Dr. Robin Mary James, who faces manslaughter charges related to the death of a patient during a home birth [1]. The case concerns 41-year-old Vicki Butler, who died from postpartum hemorrhage on December 27, 2017, following delivery at her home in Ipswich [1]. Dr. James is accused of medical negligence in identifying symptoms of postpartum hemorrhage and delaying emergency medical assistance [1].
According to the prosecution case, Dr. James arrived at the home at 5:00 a.m., but did not call an ambulance until 6:42 a.m., despite Butler having delivered between 3:22 a.m. and 4:07 a.m. [1]. Butler received 23 units of blood at the hospital and was pronounced dead at 6:15 p.m. that evening [1]. The jury was discharged on Monday, with the matter scheduled to be mentioned again in court on Thursday [1].
