Child Birth at Brgy. Concepcion

On May 18, 2012 at around 2:00 in the morning, a call from the Waterfront Police Outpost was received about a woman in Brgy. Concepcion that was about to give birth in her sari-sari store which also serves as her home. ICER Medic 2 was dispatched on scene, upon arrival, the crew entered the small sari-sari store where she gave birth to child. She informed the crew that the child fell in the concrete floor when she could no longer stop the urge to push. The crew brought the infant to the ambulance for assessment, the team noted swelling in right eye and hematoma in the forehead. The crew informed the mother but she refused to bring to be  brought to the hospital for further medical attention. The crew explained to the mother the consequences of her decision and offered her other alternatives, yet she was unmoved so the team had her sign the refusal for transport form and informed that ICER shall no longer be liable for the consequences  after she signed the form.
