    This has to be one of the worse things I have read...having worked in a new born nursery, I can only imagine the eqipument malfunctioned. What else can explain such a weird accident? That poor baby....

    If you get a follow up article, please post. It would be interesting to find out if it was equipment malfunction versus error.

    Thanks,

    Cat - did you ever see a follow up on this story or about the infant? Just curious to know how the infant was doing.

    Thanks!
