Methodist Dallas Medical Center and OBGYN Dr. Theresa Patton are being sued for death of day-old child in April 2024. The lawsuit, filed by the child’s parents in Dallas County District Court, alleges that Patton’s treatment gave their son fatal head injuries during birth. Patton attempted to a vacuum device, which includes a suction cup attached to the baby’s head, to help the mother give birth. As first reported by The Dallas Morning News, the lawsuit claims the vacuum extractor did not work after four attempts before the mother was given a C-section. Patton wrote an email to the Dallas Morning News following the lawsuit. “I will simply say that I am committed to providing the highest quality medical care possible to my patients,” she wrote.
The Cook Children’s and Twisted X collaboration hit a new milestone as it’s expanding to adult sizes. The children’s hospital and shoe company partnership started in 2023 but only made kid sizes.

Twisted X donates 100 percent of the wholesale proceeds from each shoe sold to Cook Children’s, which are on sale in gift shops at Cook Children’s medical centers in Fort Worth and Prosper. The proceeds go to Cook Children’s Therapeutic Art Program, which served 2,700 patients last year.
