A St. Louis County jury found a St. Louis obstetrician committed malpractice by failing to diagnose a major drug-resistant infection that developed in the breast of a first-time mother. The jury awarded the mother $200,000 in damages. About three weeks after giving birth in January 2007, Lynn Bell developed a swollen, tender area on her right breast and told her doctor, Joseph G.
