Response from Hospital

I got a mail from the Patient Advocate that my medical records will again be reviewed on October 8. Though I doubt anything will come out of it

A couple people have asked me to talk with attorney. I dont know about that process and frankly I am afraid. I am new to US and had heard nothing but good about the medical system here, so when this happenned I was shocked. That and the expenses and the time

Working full time at a high demand job, doing masters part time, taking care of baby leaves little time if any

Healthy Moms matter too

How many times have I heard that phrase, "No matter what happenned, you have a healthy baby". Isnt thats all that is important. Yes that is important and yes that is the most important part but that does not means that healthy moms are not important.

I love my baby and I would do it all again for him but I detest the fact that I have a huge abdominal scar, i am still anemic, I am unable to lift him and the car seat together still and I still get nightmares about the IVC Filter

I am never going to trust a doctor again

I love Arnav, I am grateful I am alive and so is my baby, I have a wonderful husband but I have no faith, no trust left. Dr. Bajaj was the fisrt doctor I met in US. Before I got pregnant I had not visited any doctor in US. So when I looked up Edward service and contacted the doctors, she had the first available appointment. When i saw her first, I thought she looked a lot like my mother looked when she was young. No one had heard about her, she was not any of my friends doctor but I liked her and she was close to work

For 14 weeks she told me lies, bad mouthed the radiologist with me. I thought fluid levels were a fluke but now I realize how shallow she was. I am never going to trust a doctor again

Its been 8 months

And I still feel sad and depressed. Not one night has passed when I dont get dreams of being strapped in bed with foley between my legs. Dr Bajaj pressing hard on my stomach to stop the bleeding and telling me time and again not to have another kid. Bharat was standing and crying and since you are the dying person, so you are supposed to be brave and not even cry.

She asked me not to move my legs. I worked till the day I delivered and laid absolutely still for 4 days to avoid bleeding.
