- Sup, you beautiful people. Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco Show. I need you to bah, bah, bah, karate chop, (chuckles) karate chop that like button. And let's just jump into it. (spring boings) Was that good? - Yeah! - You know, the first thing that we're gonna talk about today is this really interesting story about a woman in the UK who actually sued her mother's doctor for allowing her to be born. And while your reaction to that might be, what, was, is this like some random stupid throw away lawsuit? No, that woman, Evie Toombes, actually won her lawsuit yesterday, making this a landmark wrongful conception case. But before those of you who have uttered the words, I didn't choose to be born, go out there and now try and sue your own mom's doctors, you should know that Evie's case is a bit unique. According to reports, Evie, who's now a NUMBER_TOKEN year old show jumper was born with a form of spina bifida, and sometimes spends NUMBER_TOKEN hours a day connected to tubes. She also suffers from bowel and bladder issues, and is expected to lose more of her already limited mobility as she gets older, which will then force her to depend more on a wheelchair. And so Evie sued Dr. Phillip Mitchell for his failure to properly advise her mother while she was pregnant, right. Claiming that if the doctor had told her mother that she needed to take folic acid supplements to minimize the risk of spina bifida affecting her baby, she would have put off getting pregnant. Thus, Evie would have never been born, and a judge ultimately agreed with that argument, and awarded Evie a massive payout that will reportedly be in the millions. But Evie's lawyers say the exact sum hasn't been calculated yet, but it should be big enough to cover the cost of her lifelong care needs. But also, like I said, this is a landmark case, this goes beyond Evie. This ruling is being considered groundbreaking, because it means that a healthcare professional can be held liable for improper preconception advice if it results in the birth of a baby with serious health conditions. I mean, I have no idea the number of doctors, and the number of people that could be affected by this decision, but with that, while we wait and see, you know, will we see more litigation moving forward from other people, what are your thoughts on this? And then we should definitely talk about Alec Baldwin, and the updates to the tragic shooting on the set of, "Rust", right. You probably remember cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was killed and director Joel Souza was injured when a gun that Baldwin was holding misfired while he was rehearsing a scene where he was pointing the weapon at the camera. Lawsuits have been filed. An investigation into the matter is ongoing. People could potentially be charged over this incident, and now Baldwin is speaking out with a sit-down interview with George Stephanopoulos that will air on, "ABC News Tonight." Leading up to that, ABC released a trailer where we see Baldwin make this major claim about what happened regarding the gun misfiring. - It wasn't in the script for the trigger to be pulled.
