He said: 'One minute my wife and I were going to hospital together for our first baby. The next I was all alone with this little girl and I didn't know what to do.'

Michalina Todryk, now four, was born perfectly healthy by Caesarean section at the 王室の Surrey 郡 Hospital.

Her mother Petrina, a 39-year-old computer systems 分析家, 苦しむd a 大規模な heart attack and never （機の）カム一連の会議、交渉／完成する from the anaesthetic 治めるd for the 緊急 Caesarean.

A 法廷，裁判所 heard how Mrs Todryk had not been seen by a doctor for almost ten hours after arriving at the hospital - even though she 苦しむd 複雑化s.

'As far as we were 関心d it was going to be the happiest day of our lives,' Mr Todryk said last night,

'What I didn't realise was that Petrina would not be looked at by a doctor until 6.30 in the evening.

'By then, the birth 明確に wasn't 進歩ing as it should and I was getting very 関心d. But all the doctor did was 治める a 麻薬 to make the 収縮過程s stronger and then he went away again.

'It was soon obvious that there 1997. were serious problems. Still, it wasn't until 9.30 that anything was done abou t it. A new midwife （機の）カム on 転換, すぐに called the doctor and they told me they were going to 配達する the baby by Caesarean. But by then it was too late.'

Mrs Todryk was not seen by a 顧問 until after she had 苦しむd a heart attack.

認可するing the 解決／入植地, for loss of 収入s and 苦しめる原因（となる）d by the death, the 裁判官述べるd it as a '苦しめるing, 悲劇の and disquieting' 事例／患者.

Speaking from his home in Sanderstead, South Croydon, Mr Todryk, 39, said: 'I don't know what I would have done without my friends and my mother, who helped massively when Michalina was very little.

'I just want the hospital to 受託する that the finger of 非難する points at them. I want them to 収容する／認める they were wrong and to make sure it never happens again.'
