I had a normal pregnancy and gave birth vaginally to a baby girl March 11th. During the after birth i had lots and lots of bleeding. My Dr just came to the hospital after working at the clinic all day and was pretty grumpy & tired. When all the bleeding started he asked my hubby to help pass him medical tools and gozz to stop the bleeding. The 2 nurses were too busy to help cuz they dropped the bowl with my placenta in it and were busy cleaning it.I was screaming in pain, their were 2 other Dr's on call, which were never called, and 1 nurse came in towards the end of all of what happened. Well 8 hrs after that ordeal a nurse realized i hadn't gone to the bathroom, i was rushed into the O.R because my Dr had ended up stitching my urethra shut and i was full of urine. I then had to have 2 units of blood given to me, i had a high temp and lots of other things after what had happened to me. i was in the hospital for 3 days. And I was the talk of the hospital, and all the Dr's in my City have heard of my and what happened to me now. I had a catheter in me for 11 days, i still have lots of pain urinating, and i go to the Dr weekly. And i was on 7 diff pain meds.(i take as needed now) I have no memory of my daughter's birth after all the pain i was in and the blood loss. And could have died again with having so much urine inside of me, without notice. The dr office i went to has called me, sent me letters etc.. wanting to get together with me to hear my side of what happened and willing to give me whatever i want for what has happened to me. I have gotten all my hospital records and now am consulting with a lawyer. I was wondering if anyone knew how much i could get in a seattlment like this?
um of course i think of all those things. i'm doing a law suit to prevent this happening to another women. i am very thankful that i am alive and nothing happend to my daughter. but i am here asking a Q about the law-suit .if i were to explain everything that happend in that hospital i wouldn't have nearly enough room on this page.
