How do you know if you have a case against a hospital?

Q: I went to local Public health hospital to be seen for abnormal bleeding or hemorrhage during a miscarriage here is my story below: Do I have a case?At approximately 5:00 p.m. I started to have real heavy bleeding and told my husband I might need to go to the hospital if the bleeding did not let up some. Blood was running out like water. I kept putting pads and trying to clean up to go to the doctor but the bleeding was so bad I put a towel between my legs. We drove up to the door where the ambulance drops off patients because my husband was terrified. He was pounding on the doors and waving is arms and it seemed like no one would acknowledge his presence. I could someone standing at the desk (unknown male or female, But was non Indian) who turned a looked at him then just started to write in chart again. I seen a nurse come from around the back part when the examine rooms are and she walked to the desk then very slowly came to the door and opened the door only a half way to speak with him. He told her I was miscarrying. She said there was nothing they could do. He said but she is having a lot of bleeding. And she wants to go to Sioux City. She again told him that Sioux City will do the same thing and send her home because there is nothing to done for a miscarriage. It is a natural process. He told her well you go outside and tell my wife that. She came outside and asked what was going on. I told her that I started miscarrying on Sunday morning and that the bleeding had got very heavy. She tried to explain the process of miscarriage which I knew already. A tried to explain I just wanted to make sure everything was alright. I said you just take me in a make sure my blood work is alright she threw her arms up and said I guess we could do that. (A gesture with her arms that me feel that she did not really want to see me, maybe end of shift). I was taken into the ER department and put in the back room they call the OB room. (She asked me if I was Native American or Indian. I said yes. What this has to do with it I still do not know. If needed medical attention and needed to be stabilized she would have to stabilize me no matter what). I then lay down on the table on my own and she did not even communicate with me at no time try to see how bad my bleeding was. She left the room with bed rails down and no one came back to check on me. My husband went to park the car and came in the room and asked how I was. I did not feel right after the walk to the room. I don’t know how long I was in the room but I started to feel real hot and then started to sweat. I told my husband get me some wet paper towels with cold water. He put them on my head and the feeling got worse. I said go get somebody something’s going on do not feel right. He left came back and said they said they are getting your order for the lab. I said I need someone I feel like I can’t breathe, I am going to faint. He left the room again and must have passed out. I woke up and was choking on vomit. And a doctor standing over me saying you are going to be alright. I look up and seen the nurse in the corner and said to her, “An you were going to send me home”. I would have probably died. I heard them talking and one guy said should I get the ambulance and the doctor say no she going by helicopter. I was taken to Mercy Medical into the ER department. I was given a D/C right in the exam room. Did not have an exam table with stirrups just hung legs over the rails of the bed. This exam was painful a pain I will remember. The doctor showed a container with my placenta in it and said I was bleeding so bad because I was having trouble delivers the placenta because it was too small. I laid there and thought of my god what is going on. Not one time during my stay at Mercy did the nurses or doctor check my bleeding after the D/C. The doctor came back in the room and said we are going to send you back to the hospital. I said for what. He said they are going to keep you overnight. The ambulance came an transported me back to the the hospital. When they got there they moved me from the table to the stretcher and everyone’s eyes got real big because of the amount of blood on the exam table. An the nurse looked at them an said we didn’t check her bleeding. They took back to hospital and my bleeding was still a lot and had a lot of clots. So they kept in the ER for over 2 hours. I asked the doctor what was going on he said we do not have room for you upstairs we have one nurse and already have five patients. The nurse to patient ratio is 5 to 1. Lukes and made me an appointment to see the OB/Gyn at 8:00 a.m. that morning. I was scared to go home because of my blood pressure not being stable and the thought of my bleeding becoming heavy again. I went home and was probably a mile from my home when I started to sweat and told my husband to turn around and take the Carl. T. Curtis health center. I then passed out and woke up again vomiting. EMT’s gave me oxygen. Then I was transported back to hospital. When I got there the doctor said don’t even take her off the gurney she is going to St. Lukes. I arrived at St. lukes at approximately 3:00 a.m. The doctor then told me I was going to be staying the night. The next day I had another D & C and given 2 pints of blood. Released from St. Lukes on May 23, 2008.

A: Yes, you most certainly do have a case. Miscarriages as you obviously found out, can have fatal complications if not cared for properly. This was a true emergency and was not treated anywhere close to appropriately. I’m glad you finally got the correct treatment, which should have happened in the first place.

Blood type question and Pregnancy.?

Q: Heres the basics.I am 6 months pregnant.I have a daughter who is 3, her blood type is O+ with – Antibodies. My husband/her dad is O+ – antibodies. When I gave birth to my daughter I was type as A+ with – Antibodies, this includes during pregnancy. In October of 07 I had a miscarriage. I was typed during the miscarriage as once again A+ with – Antibodies.I got pregnant in July where I was typed AGAIN by a different hospital. It was brought up today at my appt. that I am AB+ with + antiodies….after doing some investigative work it turns out they MIXED my chart (they’d done it before)… I was cleared as A+, – Antibodies. THEN I was called back and told “Wait…you ARE A+ with +Antibodies.Ideally in pregnancy you should have NO antibodies… How the HELL do you go from A+, – Antibodies in December to A+ with + antibodies in July. It seems there “system” is whacked out and it makes no sense as to WHY I would go from – to +… No blood transfusions, this pregnancy has been pretty good except for a MINOR bleeding episode and a discovery of a subchorionic hemorrhage that wasn’t of importance. We’re all RH positive so no worry for this baby to come out Rh -.They have FOUR girls with my name first and last at this center… before the nurse called me back she had AGREED that indeed my original doctor was right bc when they typed me I was indeed A+, – Antibodies….why would she agree and then NOT? I am telling you, she has to be mixing up my chart! Otherwise what else would cause this?If you have NO Idea what I jsut said just don’t answer. This is a serious question that I wanto get opinions on. Covering my basis. I’ve called my husbands grandfather who is a pathologist, talked to my daughters PED, and now I am gonig to find more resources… at least until this referral doctor can do a FINAL Test once and for all.GREAT answer! I really aprreciate it.But THATS exaclty what I was thinking. We are all RH + so there is no fear of this babies blood and my blood mixing, because as you said its biologically impossible for the father and I to have Rh + blood and then have an Rh – child. so why does it MATTER if my antibody is postive, is this additional testing just required because they dont KNOW what my husbands blood type is? So they are just checking to see that I am not forming antibodies to an Rh factor that the baby obviously doesn’t have but they think mighT?

A: I’m assuming that you’re referring to the +/- factor or the RH factor in blood and its link to miscarriages. Your immune system reacts to proteins on the surfaces of things to detect what is and is not part of your body. If it detects a “foreign” protein, it will attack. The problem in pregnancy occurs if the mother is RH negative, which you are not. The lack or presence of antibodies is not a factor. Your blood type (if I’m reading correctly) is A+ meaning that you have the RH factor. Your husband (again if I’m reading correctly) is O+ meaning he also has the RH factor. It is genetically impossible for the two of you to have a child that does not have the RH factor ie someone who is O-. If you were RH negative and your husband was RH positive, it would be possible for your fetus to have a blood type that was RH positive. This is not a problem for the first pregnancy. It IS a problem in the second pregnancy because the first pregnancy will have caused your immune system to create RH antibodies which means in your second pregnancy, if that fetus was RH positive, the antibodies would attack your fetus causing miscarriage.

Did I have a miscarriage? It’s kind of long, but PLEASE HELP?

Q: I’ve been on the pill for almost 2 years now because of heavy periods. It’s worked for me and I’ve never had problems with it, even though I will occasionally miss a pill here and there, it has no effect on my period. However, because I sometimes miss a pill, it doesn’t work for preventing pregnancy. Since the age of 11, I have never missed a period in my LIFE and I always spot too.My boyfriend and I used a condom when we had sex. We used lubricant on it, which I now realize was a mistake, because that weakens the effect of the condom. I hadn’t had my period since we’d had sex. A few weeks after the last time we did it, he broke up with me. I still was not getting my period. After 2 weeks, I started getting a little bit worried. I told myself it was just stress, but my friend urged me to take a test anyway, so she brought one over to me. When I got the results, the sign was really light and hard to see. My friend and I assumed that it was probably just a negative because we didn’t think that I was. A week later, still no period. Not even spotting. During the 3rd week, I started getting cramps like I was going to have my period, but they would stop suddenly and nothing would happen. I started hating certain foods that I used to love and started hardly eating anything. A girl I know (who got pregnant at my age) said that her pregnancy test read the same thing that mine did and that she was going through my exact situation with her first child. She said to check to see if I was tight, and I went to check, and I was! That scared the sh*t out of me so I finally went to planned parenthood to get tested, after almost 2 months of not having my period. The planned parenthood woman called me in and said it didn’t look like I was pregnant. I asked her, “then where did my period go?” She said because I’m a teenager, the period is probably just inconsistent due to hormones, but in all 6 years I’ve had it, this has NEVER happened, and I’ve been on birth control for 2 years so I know that’s not what was causing it. A DAY after I came back from planned parenthood, I started feeling really sick and nauseous. I started to hemorrhage out of control like I never had before. I had this horrible feeling almost like cramps except 10 times worse in my lower stomach along with a churning feeling. This is way beyond when I’m supposed to have my normal period, I shouldn’t be having it now. As suddenly as the hemorrhaging came, it stopped out of nowhere. I was only bleeding that badly for an hour before it went back to a normal period, but the cramps were UNBEARABLE, like I’d gotten punched in the stomach.The twist to this is that I was not aware that I could have been pregnant and I’ve been bulimic for 3+ years. So, I was throwing up my food, starving myself, and overworking my body while this was all going on, and because I didn’t know if I was pregnant, I didn’t think I would be hurting whatever was in me. Do you think I could have had a miscarriage? What’s going on?I’ve been through a lot in my life. Stress and bulimia have never gotten as bad as to make me miss my periods, and I’ve had them for a LONG TIME.

A: I hate to say this but you could have. When i got pregnant, I had cramps and light spotting for a couple days but they went away. Your symptoms sounds really extreme…you NEED to call a doctor and tell him everything.If you are going to have sex and have the possibility of getting pregnant you also need to work out your bulimia. You wont be able to have kids if you keep that up. If you dont like your body now, how are you going to feel watching your stomach grow and grow? You should not be having kids till you work out your body issues. Im sorry this is harsh but if you are pregnant, this is including a child that deserves to live in a healthy mother. you are not a healthy mother, no matter how skinny your are, you cannot support a child inside you if you are not eating and keeping it down. please call a doctor and find out for sure. and make sure you stay on the pill! I understand body issues, trust me, but i also have a child. If you are pregnant, please get help with your bulimia.
