While I was unfortunate to have a very bad experience with my gynecologist, I would be failing in my duties if I dont thank some of the very nice doctors who saved my life
1. Dr Leonard Sherman
He is the radiologist who read my second CT scan and had the guts to go against his colleague and tell them that there is no DVT or PE. He is the one who saved me from getting the IVC Filter. He is my god, no words can ever fail to express my gratitude and thanks to him
I don't know if I'll ever be lucky enough to meet you but I thank you each and every day of my life
2. Dr Todd Singer
The Interventional Radiologist who did the surgery for draining fluid from my abdomen. Since I was on heparin, I couldn't be given spinal anaesthesia. He offered me general but I was worried that they would proceed with IVC Filter while I am asleep
He was so calm and talking to me during the procedure , telling me about the baby he and his wife had 5 months back. Even when I was shouting uncontrollably he told me very nicely "Don't worry, things will be fine. I have seen your records. You don't need a filter"
Dr Singer, you don't know how much your kind attitude mattered to a lonely frightened girl.

Unhappy with your maternity care
Then complaint. Make your voice heard so that others may not be subjected to the same torture you were subjected to.

Many times we choose to keep quite and ignore because We are afraid of letting the world know that we have been treated so badly. I was afraid will people still think me as the bright and smart girl when I could not take care of my own well being, when I couldn’t take right decision about my own child. I felt guilty that I couldn’t judge people correctly
I felt ashamed, guilty, failure. I was afraid of what people will think. I was scared arguing and asking Vimi Bajaj for my records because I was scared of going to any doctor. I believed that my doctor had my best interests in mind but this was not the case.
But there is nothing wrong and ashamed of in putting in words what you are feeling. Save someone the heart break. Let the world know that when Vimi Bajaj could do this to a healthy smart educated girl, she can do this to anyone. Complain and ensure that your voice is heard. Spread the word, be brave and this is the pathway to healing emotionally and physically
