I experienced a lot of suffering in my 37th week of pregnancy. Many of which were due to negligence of my Obgyn and hospital. I am describing my experience very briefly and do not contains complete details.
1. I had itchy rashes over my body with fever and later on it was diagnosed as contagious chicken pox. However, my Obgyn kept on saying that it's PUPPP which sometime occurs in third trimester.
No precaution was taken to prevent it's infection to the new born, my family members and other clinic & hospital staff who came in my contact.
My Obgyn was not able to diagnose the problem. She did not even bother to refer me to a skin specialist. When we insisted she behaved very rudely and mentioned to us that she had to consider the financial implications before providing any treatment, even though we have good insurance.
2. I had to undergo c-section during delivery. Post surgery, I developed severe infection in my wounds. Again, my Obgyn was not able to diagnose the problem, kept on misguiding me and treated me with basic medication until last minute.
I realized that my case is beyond her competence, so I rushed to ER where I received proper treatment. I was hospitalized for 5 days had to take very strong antibiotics.
My family and I suffered extreme emotional and physical harassment because of callous treatment provided by my Obgyns & the hospital.
I would like to know, if this is a case worth pursuing. I sincerely want the guilty parties to teach a lesson so that they handle other cases with complete care and precaution.
Thanks for your help.
