Baby Dies After Police Detain Doctor Rushing to Hospital to Save the Child’s Life

Pediatrician, Dr. Bhagwan Bang was rushing to the Andalusia Regional Hospital, from his home in Opp, Alabama. As was rushing to the hospital, after being made aware of a baby having stopped breathing, he was pulled over by police en route.
Tragically the baby did not survive.
What makes this incident even more senseless was that this was not the first time Dr. Bang had been stopped by police on his way to a medical emergency, as he was pulled over previously, with the judge dismissing the case at that time.
Police had previously given the doctor a specific route to follow whenever there was a medical emergency that required him to get to the hospital fast, which he followed in this incident, which is why Dr. Bang is was distraught over this case.
“On Sept. 8, I got a call that a newborn baby is not breathing,” he said. There was nothing about the pregnancy that indicated problems, he said, but the baby was blue.
“I have seven years of neonatal experience,” Bang said. “I have seen several of these babies.”
His fear, he said, was that the baby had a bilateral rupture of the lung.
“I have saved those babies before by putting needles in the chest, and draining the air,” he said. “That was going first in my mind. I needed to be there.”
In a short audio clip of a 9-1-1 call provided by Bang’s attorney, he can be heard telling the dispatcher, “If I stop, the baby will die!”
