I am finding this hard to believe.
The pain ... physical and psychological.
London, May 20 (IANS) A team of doctors in Brazil accidentally tore off a baby's head as the mother struggled to give birth in a hospital. The headless body remained inside the mother and had to be removed through surgery, it was reported here Sunday.
The incident took place at the Santa Isabel maternity hospital in Aracaju in northeastern Brazil, the Daily Mail reported.
The 22-year-old mother -- who has three other children -- said later she knew something was wrong when she heard something crack. The team of five doctors had spent hours trying to deliver the baby.
"She went through a lot of suffering, it was hours and hours and a lot of pain and discomfort, with doctors pushing on her stomach, trying everything to make the baby come out," the woman's cousin told Brazil's Globo G1 website.
"Then at one point, she heard a loud noise and one of the doctors said, 'Marcos, are you crazyIJ'"
The mother asked what was happening but did not get an answer. She was rushed for an emergency surgery in which the headless body of the baby was removed.
The family will now sue the hospital for medical negligence. [from here]

Taste Of The Medicine
What goes around comes around.
Online attacks on the Chinese expatriate who drove the Ferrari in a fatal Bugis accident on Saturday have underscored simmering anti-foreigner sentiment in Singapore. Ma Chi, a financial investor from Sichuan, China, smashed his million-dollar Ferrari into a taxi, killing himself on the spot and claiming the lives of cabby Cheng Teck Hock and Japanese cab passenger Shigemi Ito in hospital afterwards. Netizens in Singapore have swamped local websites and forums, with majority of comments attacking the 31-year-old and inevitably foreigners in general, while those who expressed otherwise were slammed for their views. Wolfie Densetsu, who commented on our Facebook page, believes Singapore needs to attract the right kind of foreigners, saying in one of the milder comments, ”Genuine foreign talent are always welcome, but not troublemakers." Another user, Sin Kiang Chua, added, “A lot of foreigners are earning much much bigger bucks than locals, thus able to afford luxurious cars & housings. Not fair to locals!” However, not all the comments were indignant. Yahoo! Singapore reader Sam Ang said, “Accidents like this happens every day in the world, so let's not get upset about it. It is not a matter of whether he is from China or local, it is about being responsible to our loved ones. Anyway he has died, so have the other two. I feel sad for them. Another reader, One, argued, “I think the issue here shouldn’t be about him being a PRC, but against speeding and drinking. If he was a Singaporean, the entire situation would probably be in a different light.” So the question is: As tension between locals and foreigners continues to grow - with the latter being blamed for pushing up living costs, straining public transport and stealing jobs - are Singaporeans in danger of becoming xenophobic? [source here]
The 'locals' took over the island from the 'original locals' less than six decades ago using the very same modus operandi which is exporting foreigners from mainland.
And now they are becoming 'xenophobic'?
Medicine is bitter, ain't it? Even one's own.

Bodoh Piang
Nonton video ini [sini] made my blood went upstairs lah.
Politik kita belum cukup masak. Harapkan kekuatan pembangkang mampu mematangkan politik tanahair tapi hampeh ... kokok berderai derai ekor bergelumang tahi.
Penyokong Bersih 3.0 bermati matian kata niat mereka bersih murni. Mereka hanya berarak aman menuntut pilihanraya bersih. Mereka yakin penuh bahawa setiap manusia atas dunia ni punya hak kebebasan individu. Bebas untuk berkumpul di mana mana bila bila masa. Segala sampah yang mereka buat masa mereka melaksanakan hak mereka tu adalah tanggungjawab kerajaan kerana mereka ialah pembayar cukai. Begitu juga dengan keselamatan mereka. Sekiranya ada samseng tak puas hati, maka polis kena lindungi mereka. Jika perlu tembak pengacau yang mengganggu. Kurang dari itu, maka hak mereka dikira terjejas.
Penganjur Bersih 3.0 tidak dapat kebenaran berdemo di Dataran Merdeka tapi buat jugak. Jadi apa nama nya 300 000 orang [kata deme lah] yang berkumpul 28 April 2012 lepas? Bukan babi [dibaca:HARAM] ke?
Ada polis tembak diaorang? Tangkap? Pukul?
TAK DE!!!
Habis tu apahal pulak mamat ni [sini] dengan sopan santun lembut gigi dari lidah MENUNTUT polis buat siasatan.
Sapa yang nak di bodohkannya?
Bersih 3.0 yang haram tu ditamatkan dengan RASMI pada jam 2.00 ptg 28 April 2012.
Kekacauan berlaku pukul berapa?
Polis tembak gas pemedih mata dan sembur meriam air pukul berapa? Sebelum atau selepas kekacauan bermula? Saja suka suka nak dera orang atau ada sebab munasabah?
Kalau lah mamat ni dan suku sakat dia tak buat apa yang mereka buat SELEPAS Bersih 3.0 diTAMATKAN dengan rasmi dan peserta Bersih haram di suruh bersurai, ada polis nak buat apa yang mereka buat?
Babi haram di makan oleh orang Islam. Kalau disembelih pun babi tetap haram di makan.
Bersih 3.0 tidak dapat kebenaran berdemo di Dataran Merdeka. Walau 300 000 orang menyertainya tidak menjadikan ia HALAL.
Kedua, isu kezaliman polis.
This FB posting is an interesting read [here]
Ketiga, video [ini].

Orchestrated Gambit
Read this on an fb acquaintance's wall.
In a repeat of last summer’s protests, yellow-shirted mobs calling themselves “Bersih” have taken once again to the streets in Malaysia demanding “clean elections.” Their tactics and demands mirror similar movements that have come out into the streets in Russia and across the Middle East, and just like in Russia and across the Middle East, they are entirely funded, directed by, and working for the interests of Wall Street and London.
Bersih’s rank and file are responding to legitimate concerns regarding inequities that exist across Malaysia’s diverse population. Ethnic Malaysians are perceived to be receiving more benefits and upward social mobility than Malaysia’s large groups of ethnic minorities. Likewise it is perceived that Malaysia’s ruling government has an unfair advantage come election time. However, the movement’s demands and tactics seek simply to destabilize Malaysia politically and return known Western collaborators, and in particular Wall Street proxy and International Monetary Fund (IMF) functionary Anwar Ibrahim, back into power.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=M7u2xKtjihk
Video/Image: NED and Soros organized mobs clamor around Malaysia’s embassy in Bangkok, Thailand – with SEAPA executive director Gayathry Venkiteswaran explaining to a crowd why Western proxy Anwar Ibrahim and his opposition’s involvement in Bersih should not be condemned and for Bersih supporters to vigorously deny that the movement is “opposition run.” SEAPA s funded by convicted criminal George Soros, and the US State Department’s warmongering, corporate financier-lined National Endowment For Democracy and Freedom House. Both within Malaysia and beyond, the Bersih mobs are demonstratively led by Western proxies insidiously manipulating impressionable, youthful crowds.
To understand why, it helps to understand just who is financially and politically supporting Bersih’s leadership in the first place. The Malaysian Insider reported on june 27, 2011 that Bersih leader Ambiga Sreenevassan “admitted to Bersih receiving some money from two US organisations — the National Democratic Institute (NDI) and Open Society Institute (OSI) — for other projects, which she stressed were unrelated to the July 9 [2011] march.” A visit to the NDI website revealed indeed that funding and training had been provided by the US organization – before NDI took down the information and replaced it with a more benign version purged entirely of any mention of Bersih. For funding Ambiga claims is innocuous, the NDI’s rushed obfuscation of any ties to her organization suggests something more sinister at play.
Bersih is indisputably serving as a political vehicle for Anwar Ibrahim and Malaysia’s opposition front “Pakatan Rakyat,” to return to power. That Anwar Ibrahim himself was Chairman of the Development Committee of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) in 1998, held lecturing positions at the School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University, was a consultant to the World Bank, and a panelist at the Neo-Con lined National Endowment for Democracy’s “Democracy Award" and a panelist at a NED donation ceremony - the very same US organization whose subsidiaries are funding and supporting Bersih – casts irrefutable doubt on their official agenda for “clean and fair elections.” Claims by Bersih members that Anwar Ibrahim is “hijacking” their movement ring especially hollow when looking at both his and Bersih’s entwined foreign financial and political backers.
Unlike during their 2011 protests, Bersih is now taking to the streets with the full knowledge of what “pro-democracy” protests have yielded in Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, and Syria – chaos, destabilization, violence, and the inevitable installation of overt client regimes bent in service to Wall Street and London. They are now openly the recipients of convicted criminal George Soros' Open Society Institute, which is quickly losing its luster as its vast global ties are exposed by an ever-expanding alternative media. ...
...
Clearly it is not “democracy” that the US through its National Endowment for Democracy and criminal Wall Street speculator George Soros’ Open Society are spreading – but rather corporate-financier hegemony by destabilizing nationalist regimes and replacing them with client proxies. The recent wave of “pro-democracy” uprisings worldwide are a carefully orchestrated geopolitical gambit - neo-imperialism through 4th generation warfare. That the leaders of Bersih are demonstratively recipients of both the US State Department’s National Endowment for Democracy and Soros’ Open Society, and with opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim being a functionary of the IMF, it is certain that no matter how genuine Bersih’s rank and file may be, the fruits of their efforts will be the destabilization and neo-recolonization of of their nation – a nation that has fought long and hard to work its way out from under Western imperialism in the past.
The damage is done ... again!
