Chastity Fabrizio's baby was diagnosed with a brain injury that occurs when a fetus or newborn does not receive enough oxygen to their brain.

Chastity Fabrizio's baby was diagnosed with a brain injury that occurs when a fetus or newborn does not receive enough oxygen to their brain.

In 2014, Chastity Fabrizio arrived at Hahnemann in her 39th week of pregnancy and told doctors she had not been able to feel her baby move, according to her lawsuit. She alleged that doctors who treated her did not recognize that the child was displaying signs of low blood oxygen. In court filings, Hahnemann denied any negligence on the part of its doctors. The suit was settled in January before going to trial. Though Hahnemann closed in 2019, the hospital had “ample insurance to resolve the case,” said Priscilla Jimenez, one of the lawyers representing Fabrizio. Representatives from Drexel University, which owned Hahnemann at the time, did not respond to a request for comment.
