I doubt her life was at stake at all, except for the risk of giving birth which everyone woman takes. As for the flesh eating bacteria, if she didnt notice she had it before giving birth, I have no idea how the doctors could diagnose it during the surgery. If she couldn't see it, they couldn't see it. Then it comes down to her lying and denying having it, but really knew about it.
Anyway, that hospital is fucked. Holding information from a patient like that is illegal. Most people dont know, but you have every right (when you are over 18) to look at your patient chart. You might not understand it, but you have a right to look at it.
