Sad story here...jury may be out on this one for a while too...the one item that is a bit odd is the comment from his attorney where the physician threatened to go on a "hunger strike"?  Why would a professional physician make such a statement or threat?  Very strange indeed...BD

"I've been telling these guys for years that he was going to kill someone," said Dr. Gilbert Moran, the former ob-gyn chief. "And no one would listen."

It took 90 minutes and six tries -- the last with Safari on his knees, pulling. Horrified staffers -- and the boy's father -- looked on as baby Devin finally emerged. His skin was a bloodless white, his neck elongated and floppy.
His spinal cord had been severed.

Safari lashed out at a nurse. "What did you do to that baby? I gave you a good baby," he said, according to a complaint letter the nurse sent to her union representative.
Staffers at the Fresno birthing center were devastated and angry -- and not just because of the twin lost that night in 2005.

Schear, Safari's attorney, said his client never said he would burn himself, but did threaten to go on a hunger strike to protest harassment by his boss, Moran. Other physicians complained that Moran played favorites, he said.
