Mom Leaves Hospital With Wrong Newborn



WILLISTON, N.D. - A hospital in northwestern North Dakota is investigating how the mother of a newborn went home with the wrong baby.

Officials with the Mercy Medical Center in Williston say the mistake was discovered within an hour and the mother was quickly reunited with her own child.

Mercy Chief Financial Officer Kerry Monson would not release details about how the mix-up happened or what families were involved.

She said in a statement that hospital employees are disheartened by the incident. She says officials are reviewing policies and procedures and will take appropriate action.

I wonder how often this actually happens, and how often they don`t figure it out.

Imagine if she was on Montel because the father was accusing her of cheating but she wasn`t fo reelz. Then the test comes and it`s not his because of a totally irrelevant reason! lulz

The dads like OMG YOU WHORE!!! and Montel goes "...and it`s not yours either ma`am."

Mom: "...wtf!?"
