Wrong baby: WWTOTD

Slow day at work and figured I'd get the collective opinion of the OT.
Rewind 2 years ago, our first daughter is born. Night one they keep her in the nursery and at around 5 am a tech comes strolling in with the baby. Tech goes on and on about our child, and rolls her next to the bed. Wife and I are super tired from delivery and hardly any sleep.
Wife looks over and says that's not our baby. So I pop up and sure enough the sticker on the thing says breast fed boy. We had a girl. The tech proceeds to remove the sticker from the cart as if just the sticker is wrong. Then finally says a bunch of incoherent dribble and leaves. An actual nurse brings us our correct child a few minutes later.
What would the OT have done? Flipped out? Legal action? Just shrugged it off since the correct kid was brought shortly after?

Or so you think.

I would have tried to keep the boy

That's pretty messed up. I'm not a reactive person, but that would warrant a real complaint/reporting. Not legal action.

I would have flipped out. Fortunately, we delivered our daughter as Mass General in Boston. It is a baby friendly hospital, which means the baby never leaves the room. No way there could be a mix up.

Well, just what sort of legal action are you referring to? I'm curious.

I don't believe this story is legit. Having just had my third kid and sending them to nursery every night we were in there with ALL of them, I don't see this situation ever being allowed to happen.
What kind of "tech" was bringing babies back from the nursery?
ONLY nurses are able to do that kind of shite.

Based on how that Uber thread went, many would have told you to keep the incorrect child for life because it's your fault for having a child in the hospital and not in the back room like a real family.

A tech Shouldn be with your baby like that anyway. Should be either an on call pediatrician, perhaps an on gyn, or nurse

I know of two cases of this happening in my hometown. After my brother was born, the nursery nurse brought the wrong baby to my mom. Fortunately my mom caught the mistake. It took several minutes of my mom arguing with the nurse for her to finally realize the mistake. Another case of mistaken baby took place in the same town around the same time. Babies were switched but no one every caught it. Years later it came out that a mistake was made. Oddly enough, no lawsuits ever came of it and the parents were content letting things ride the way they were.

Could've solved that pretty quick. Check for a penis

There are scan-able bracelets on the child and mother. Either you're lying for the nurse dgaf.

A baby is a baby, there's not too much difference between one to the next. Who gives a shite?
