Story here. Excerpt:
'The parents of a six-week-old boy who bled to death after a circumcision at Rosebud's Indian Health Service Hospital last year are suing the government for wrongful death.
According to documents filed Wednesday in federal court, Eric Keefe underwent a circumcision on June 13, 2008. His mother gave him Motrin and Tylenol for pain and he suffered massive blood loss at home that night, dying back at the hospital the next morning.
...
The Keefes are seeking $2 million for personal injury and wrongful death.
Sturgis lawyer Mick Strain, who represents the plaintiffs, said he and the parents wouldn't talk about the case until it is tried or settled. The file lists no lawyer for the government.'
