A midwife who convinced a hospitalised patient to delay a caesarean even though CTG monitoring showed the fetus was at risk of dying has been struck off for 10 years.
Martina Gorner was hired to provide antenatal care ahead of a planned vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC), following the patient’s three caesarean deliveries.
