Cindy Wilson was a 37-year-old technical sergeant in the U.S. Air Force when she gave birth to her first child in February 2007 at Langley Air Force Base. Military doctors handling Wilson’s delivery decided to perform a cesarean section, and in the process, severed a uterine artery that caused massive internal bleeding. To make matters worse, two surgical sponges were left inside Wilson’s body. Although the baby lived, the mother died 12 hours after giving birth.Her baby daughter survived, but Cindy died a few hours after her birth.
