An Alabama woman has been reunited with her newborn after test results proved she did not have opiates in her system when her baby was taken away from her 4 hours after delivery.
Crestwood Medical declined to comment on why Hernandez was drug tested in the first place but said in a statement Saturday that it is"committed to following the law and regulatory requirements as well as ensuring the health and safety of our patient."that what happened was a"nightmare" for her family.
"A newborn baby has to be close to mom," she said in Spanish."They have to be with the mom. That’s the most important time in their life to be close to the mom when they’re just born.” Her doctor, Yashica Robinson, learned Hernandez had eaten poppy seed bread the day before delivery and thought it might have caused the positive result.
“Screening tests can have what we call false-positive results where other things can interfere," Robinson told WAFF."You can have a substance that a patient eats. Like in this case, poppy seeds can make them test positive for opioids.” Robinson said same-day drug screenings are a problem, and hospitals should rely on laboratory confirmed tests, the type that showed a negative result for Hernandez, before taking away children. The baby also tested negative for opiates.“I understand everything is a process. I understand you have to follow rules," Hernandez said."They should’ve done some more research before they decided to call DHR.
