I’m so sorry this happened to you. The doctor needs to feel your fury.

Was this IV treatment part of a clinical trial? I was urged to participate in one for a “better” treatment for my severe anemia, but ultimately I did not. Anyhow, if it is part of a trial, here should be some oversight and that could be another avenue for filing a grievance, should you have time and inclination do so.

Mrs. C. -
I’m pretty sure you are a much nicer person than I. I would have found myself a new OB, no matter the ramifications, and made sure that Psycho and Her Team of Idiots never laid a hand on me or my baby ever again. Ever.
As for you, I hope they give you the sincere apology you deserve. The least they could do is own up to their mistake.

Holy Crap! How wrong…how careless…how awful. I’m so glad you and Shaggy are ok.

I have not had the chance to read in the last few days…
I can’t believe what has happened. Report the doctor now. Don’t wait because there is a time frame you have to follow to do this. I would also change doctors. I know it’s late in the game but I don’t think for one second that you could possibly be comfortable going into a room knowing this doctor is going to use a knife.
My heart is still in my throat. Keeping you and Shaggy in my thoughts to bring you both through this healthy!

Ok. I just have two words to say:

Lawyer. Up.

The negligence that immerses the entire situation is disgusting, and their callousness is frightening.

At the very least, talk to a lawyer about filing a grievance or complaint or whatever.

Holy Hell. I would be killing someone.

Holy shit. That story is unbelievable. I”m glad you and Shaggy are still safe, if scarred. My son carries an epipen for a peanut allergy which, thanfully, we have never had to use. Your story reminds me of the importance of carrying TWO epipens, though.

I use to go to the same doctor you did, until I finally got pregnant (was there for infertility treatments). After a bout of lots of bleeding and a possible miscarriage the midwife refused to give me an ultrasound (too early to hear a heartbeat) to make sure the baby was still alive or dead. She told me it wasn’t medically necessary, and my insurance would pay for it unless it was, so unless I wanted to pay for it myself I wouldn’t get one (all with a very snotty attitude). I looked at her in disbelief, she left the room, and me nearly in tears turned to my husband said we are finding a new doctor, “I’ll be damned if I let them care for me and deliver my baby”. I switched to Dr. Nelson at Christie, the nurse nearly died when I told her my story and wisked me right over to get an ultrasound. My daughter was still alive & healthy, she and I got all the proper care we needed. Anyway, switch if you can, I know it could be a pain but you deserve an enjoyable experience.

WOW! I would be spitting nails and changing doctors so fast it would make their heads spin! What’s with doctors in this area? I had a OB/GYN over in CU who was wonderful but her nurses were absolute morons. I echo the sentiments of many – get a lawyer and then if they advocate it, let EVERYONE know who this doctor is to keep others from having to deal with the same idiocy!! Thank goodness you are OK, Mrs. Chicken!

I’m so glad your husband is coming home to be there for you. And your doctor, I don’t even know what to say… I’ll think good thoughts for you and hope Shaggy makes a healthy and happy entrance into the world.
