English woman sued mom’s doctor, says she never should have been born

An English woman identified as Evie Toombes has sued her mom’s former doctor for millions of dollars in health care costs and damages claiming that she should never have been born.

The woman who is an equestrian show jumper from Lincolnshire was said to be suffering from spina bifida.

According to New York Post, she sued Dr. Philip Mitchell, for   “wrongful conception” after he allegedly failed to advise her mother to take folic acid supplements before getting pregnant that she claims resulted in her birth defect,

Evie Toombes was diagnosed with the infection after her birth in November 2001, a neural tube defect to the spine. Her bones never properly developed along her spinal cord causing permanent disability.

The English woman that sued her mom’s doctor claimed that her mother never would have had her if her doctor had informed her that she needed to take folic acid supplements to minimize the chances of the defect affecting her baby.

More so, her attorney, Susan Rodway, while explaining the development told the UK High Court judge that Toombes was suing for “having been born in a damaged state” and wants to recover millions of dollars needed to cover the costs of living with her condition.

Meanwhile, Dr. Mitchell has denied any liability and has countered that he gave Caroline Toombes “reasonable advice,” although it is common practice to advise potential mothers to take the supplement before conceiving and through the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.

Currently, despite her mobility being “very limited,” the equestrian hopes to compete in the Paralympics despite sometimes being hooked up to medical tubes for 24-hours a day.
