Newbie to this site, but a expert patient (been there, done that)
Wash St. Hi LittleK, I've been going over your very heartbreaking experiance noted here on the web, & I have to tell you all. Hospitals & Drs. lie. I watched as a nurse took my last 2 mights after a surgery, of my nightly morphine. Instead of giving it to me, guess she thought I was too rummy to notice. She got fired, & I suffered for 2 days.
I was told 3 x's face to face by my mothers Dr. she was only gone for 5 mins. then they got her heart beating again, after a massave heart attack,the day after her surgery. The staff, all the nurses, & repeatedly the Dr. we trusted so much, watched as for 2 weeks our family around the clock, w/all our pics., her gr.kids pics,. & her great gr.kids pics on the walls, celebating thier 60th ann. in the rm..all still said they didn't know what happened, she was gone only 5 min. 2 weeks later, as my father took her to a special home for those in comas. The Dr there showed my father she was gone for 45mins! There was no crash cart on the floor, they had to go 3 floors down to get one, & it took 45 mins!
She was brain dead all that time as we waited for her to awake. They even had the gall to try & convince us, in my fathers greatest time of need, he was crazy. Because he is a wonderful christian, & he believed in them, & God. 5 mins..surely she will awake. I've seen many coma people worse off then 5 mins..come back, w/some tlc be as good as new. I was lied to so many times. I won't say, it would be a even longer book then this 1.
The only thing I don't understand LitteK, is why the ME didn't right away demand a autopsy? My mom, & recently my daughter, both had them, & it never cost us anything. It could be differant in each state, but he should have had one regardless of you having money or not. They, in my book, are hiding something from you. Get a awesome attn. It is like shopping for a good Dr. check them all out, find 1 that is willing to fight for you, because they want justice for your baby & you. Thier out there, but find the right 1 for this case, & you. Not all just want money, some do still do the job for the right reasons. Go & get em LittlK, & God be w/you! I'll be praying, ..You have a case, but itis a long tiring road..are you willing & ready? ( I hope you said "YES!") Because it is time for people like you, me, & others who have been victimized, & hurt beyond compare..to set an example for others, so others may not have to have this ever happen to them. I had a drug given to me onve that wasn't FDA approved, I was the 1st woman to have the shot for birth control, ( I didn't know that was what it was.) I was told it might help, & they made me sign a waver. ( I had already had a radical hysterectomy, have no idea why I was the chosen guinia pig).
I had a wonderful attn. who once told me why the lady always wears a blind fold...justice is blind.
He really didn't have to tell me that.lol! But, he was a good attn, that once worked for the bad guys, & woke up 1 day, & decided he wanted justice..miracles do happen..now & then.Just be prepared, it takes a very long time to get through a case, the wheels of justice are very slow, & don't be afraid to fire a attn, if he isn't doing his job & rehire someone new..I did, I found you need to keep afdter them too, or they bury you beneath all thier other paperwork. Be aggressivem you didn't do anything wrong, also, your paying the bill. They are only people like us. They just chose that as thier way of living. As I said, some because of the right reasons, some for money.Be brave, & stand up for your rights. This is a stinky coverup. I sensed it more & more as I read your messages, then your replies. Do it now, as time goes by, less chances of getting this thing off the ground. I am so sorry for what you & yours have gone through, nothing I can say can change what has happened, but that is why God gave us 1 another. When 1 falls, & the burdenis too heavy, another picks him/her up & lends whatever he or she has, to help. God bless.
You will find also LittleK, this will give you some peace of mind, not everything is about money as I know you know.You need to make some sense out of what happened, or it will haunt you forever. Be patient, get a great aggressive attn, who believes in you, & await as the truth unfolds. Please e-mail me personally, or keep us all posted. I feel we all care deeply about this situation, it breaks all of our hearts.Time to dry the tears, & get into action. Many attns, will work for nothing, .if they believe enough that they will. I feel you have a good chance of that happening.
I also want to thank the site, the people who are the managers of this site..for letting us gather to talk, & get thier opinions. I promise as a newbie, my messages will be shorter in the future. I have to retrain them.
P.S. My daughter in law is very tiny, all of her babys were 2-4lbs at birth. Yours probably was very tiny too.
