Oh, this is awful! The full article explains that the antiseptic was meant to be used at the injection site to kill any potential bacteria and somehow got mixed up with the anesthesia. The woman in Liverpool only had a droplet of antiseptic and was paralysed for life . This woman had much more than a droplet.

Keike - She may have just had an epidural for pain relief during labour, they didn't mention anything about a c/s in the article.

I just can't fathom this .
