I would still say that if her condition was as described by the family, the hospital should be held responsible for her premature release:
Quote:
Her family said she was feeling strong after the birth and was anxious to get home, but soon she began complaining of back and abdominal pain.
They said her skin was so sore that she would yell in pain if someone touched it.
The hospital released Belanger two days after her delivery, but according to her sister, Kathy Huard, she had to be brought by wheelchair to the exit and couldn't get into the car on her own power.

That doesn't sound like someone who is well enough to go home from the hospital. Skin that is so painful that you react violently if someone touches you is not a side effect of giving birth, AFAIK.
