Brachial Plexus & Erb’s Palsy

When a doctor or physician assists a mother in delivering her child, absolute care and caution must be exercised at every moment. Using too much force, pulling the child in an awkward angle, and much more can all be a single mistake that has lifelong repercussions in the form of a birth injury.
