HELLO, NINE AND A HALF MONTHS AGO I HAD A BABY DELIVERED THROUGH C SECTION AT HIALEAH HOSPITAL LOCATED IN MIAMI, FL (WORST HOSPITAL EVER!) BEFORE THE C SECTION TOOK PLACE I HAD THE EPIDURAL INSERTED THROUGH MY SPINE..MY MOTHER WAS PRESENT & SHE WITNESSED THAT THE ANESTHESIOLOGIST WAS INSERTING A NEEDLE TOO WIDE. SHE POINTED IT OUT TO THEM BUT THEY SAID THAT SINCE I WAS FAT THEY HAD TO USE A BIGGER NEEDLE..ANYWAYS, AFTER ALL THAT HAPPENED I HAD THE BABY, THEN I WENT TO THE RECOVERY ROOM..THE NEXT DAY I HAD A HUGE HEADACHE THAT WILL ONLY GO AWAY WHEN I WAS LAYING IN BED FLAT DOWN..EVEN IF I LOOKED UP THE HEADACHE WOULD CONTINUE..NO ONE WOULD EXPLAIN WHY WAS THIS HEADACHE HAPPENING. I WANTED TO DIE, IT WAS SOOOO PAINFUL. I THEN TOLD MY DOC ABOUT IT AND HE SAID IT WAS NORMAL..WAT A JERK.. THE ANESTHSEOLOGIST THEN CAME IN AND TOLD ME THE FOLLOWING: "THE REASON U HAVE A HEADACHE IS BECAUSE THE NEEDLE THAT THE ANESTHESEOLOGIST USED ON U WAS 2 WIDE. HE MADE YOUR SPINAL FLUID LEAK WHICH IS CAUSING YOU A HEADACHE. NOW, WE HAVE TO PERFORM ANOTHER PROCEDURE WHICH IS CALLED A BLOOD PATCH. I AM GOIN 2 TAKE BLOOD FROM UR HAND AND INSERT IT INTO UR SPINE TO SEAL THE HOLE." SO I AUTHORIZED THEM TO DO THE PROCEDURE AND THEY DID IT, BUT THIS TIME IT WAS A DIFFERENT ANESTHESEOLOGIST..I GOT RELIEF AND THEN GOT SENT HOME. HE TOLD ME TO DRINK MOUNTAIN DEW AND COFFEE AND TO GET SOME BED REST...CAN THIS BE CONSIDERED MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS FIXED? CAN I START A LAWSUIT?
ONCE IN AWHILE I DO GET SPINE ACHES IN THE PART WHERE THE NEEDLE GOT INSERTED INTO.

No. There is no medical malpractice. The problem was fixed.

No malpractice/negligence here. They found the problem and fixed it. You need to just move on and enjoy your new baby.

You have no case. Headaches can be a side effect of any spinal anesthesia. No attorney will sue for this.
