Thankyou very much for the support. I am sorry for all youv'e ben trough. Dr.s do lie, and they are the ones that you trust your life with or that of those you love. And it's sad. Society,as a whole, needs morals. Especially those in positions of power. Yes, we did want an autopsy. The...

TIGZ Ok, well I am not offended, HERE: Yes, I had an OB. I saw her regularly. And yes, actually, because of the high blood pressure, pre eclampsia, I was being seen every 3 days for 2 months. I had a fine pregnancy up until pre eclampsia was diagnosed. No problems. I don't smoke and never...

Shouldn't someone have told me that brethine is not FDA approved for PT Labor though? They told me I HAD to take it never discussed its off label use or anything with me, and I wasn't even in PT Labor, only having Braxton Hicks contractions, no cervical change.

Oh, :) Saint Johns County is the county the Hospital is in. I am in Putnam County.

Thia Happened in US, Florida. I only had medicaid. And when I was first admitted to the Hospital with preeclampsia, and released, the Dr. told me I couldn't stay beacuse the insurance had said I had to leave. I recently was reading and found something on Tributalie (brethine) and that it is not...

they have not told me anything other than "this happens." My baby died december 18, 2004, I was almost 40 weeks pregnant. Symptons were first noticed on the 13th when I was admited to the hospital and diagnosed w/ pre eclampsia, I was given (steriod shots) to ripen the babies lungs but sent home...

I have spoken with two lawyers here in Florida, and they both told me there isnt much I can do about what happened. Can anyone recomend a lawyer who might give this some actual thought? I am young, only 21, and the lawyers I talked with kind of brushed me off like I was a little kid. Please...

Thankyou. I didn't understand what he meant, and we only met briefly as he was in a hurry. But he returned a call to us after reviewing my medical records and said that a attorney friend of his would be willing to take on the case as after reading the records they both believe there is a...

By RLS you mean restless leg syndrome? Do you mind my asking what meds you've tried? My mother RLS very badly and she has been attending sleep clinics for a few months which have seemed to help. good luck :)

How does ammendment 3 affect a malpractice case? the lawyer I spoke with said it may be hard for me to find someone willing to take on the case because of ammendment 3

thankyou all. My husband and I have an appointment Monday with a lawyer here in Florida. And I will keep you updated. Again, Thankyou! :)

Thankyou. My ob hasn't given me a cause for death as of yet. When they discharged me, I hold told the doctor, who never examined me or anything, that I wasn't ready to leave the hospital and that I didn't feel safe leaving. Especially since I live an hour from our hospital and I don't drive...

Thankyou all. Well. they definitaly told me to do 10 kicks in 10 hours which I thought was odd since all along my ob had me watch for 10 in an hour everyday and when I was voicing a concern about not feeling enoung movement I thought they would take that as a sign something may have been wrong...

no, I am from Florida. I am 21, this was my 1st pregnancy. This happened on the 18th of this month, I was due on the 31st. An autopsy wasnt done. There was genetic testing, and testing on the placenta. I didn't have any other problems or abnormal test nor did I refuse any procedures. The pre...

Florida At 38 weeks of pregnancy I was diagnosed with pre eclampsia. I was admited to the hospital, and an amnio was done to check the babies lungs, they weren't quiet mature and an ultrasound showed me to be 36 weeks. Steroid shots were administered to help the babies lung mature quicker...
