This is the best summary I could come up with:
A man in Australia accused a hospital in Melbourne of causing him to develop a “psychotic illness” after he watched his wife undergo a cesarean section, local news outlet 7News reported.
He said the hospital “encouraged” or “permitted” him to watch the operation and that seeing his wife’s organs and blood caused the mental illness he claimed to have, it adds.
A cesarean section is a common operation in which an surgeon delivers a baby “through a cut made in your tummy and womb,” according to the National Health Service.
Koppula filed the lawsuit several years after the operation, claiming he is owed damages because of the life-changing psychological injury he allegedly obtained.
Koppula chose to represent himself in court, where Justice James Gorton dismissed the suit and deemed the claim an “abuse of process,” according to Global News.
It found that “the degree of psychiatric impairment resulting from the injury to the claimant alleged in the claim does not satisfy the threshold level,” 7News reported.
