A pregnant woman in Taichung was awarded over 14 million in compensation after her baby died due to a decision by doctors to use a vacuum extractor during delivery instead of opting for a cesarean section. The medical community is outraged by the court's ruling, with experts expressing concerns about the impact on morale and the future of medical specialties like obstetrics and pediatrics. They criticize the court's calculation method for compensation and fear the judgment may deter healthcare professionals from pursuing careers in life-saving disciplines.
