I had a normal delivery and I was not stiched all the way back up. I told the Dr and he said it's no ones fault?
Yet, he didn't give me a logical reason why it happened.
I need to be sewn up probably a good inch.
He recommend me reconstructing everything!
It costs a lot of money, he says!
I don't want reconstruction, I want to be sewn up!!!
I can't take baths, I get infections if I do.
I can literally hear when I walk noise !!
I have issues wth tampons.
I asked for him to look at this before I go in to get my tubes tied, he ignored me.
So now he wants to put me under again and do reconstruction since someone couldn't stich me back up!!
I'm furious! I've had two other kids 20 years ago! No problems, no complications. No loose skin... Nothing.
My insurance just ran out, so he said .... Well what are you going to do?

Almost 2 years ago i went to my doctor because I had been running a fever, had nausea and pain in my lower left abdomen. My doctor said it could be appendicitis or pancreatits. He sent me to the hospital for blood work and a cat scan with contrast. My insurance was due to kick in the next day but he told me I shouldn't wait to get those done. I got to the hospital after being forced to get $200.00 out of my bank account in order to get the cat scan they couldn't find anything wrong. My doc thought it was an infection. After two weeks on antibiotics and still not feeling any better I bought a home pregnancy test and found out I was pregnant. I went back to my doctor to confirm he said I was pregnant and that that would explain my symptoms and the fluid in my abdomen. At no point did anyone give me a pregnancy test until I took one at home. Now I'm stuck with $5000.00 in medical bills and they couldn't tell me I was pregnant. My baby turned out fine but I was wondering if there is anything I can do to get rid of this bill? It is maddening that I had to pay that amount of money for them to not know what was wrong.

2 years ago as of April 5th 2015 I gave birth to my first son vaginaly. I tore. And my OB/Midwife had a student stitch me back up. I had no knowledge of any students in the delivery room nor was I aware of one stitching me up. Due to me being stitched wrong I now can not have a healthy sex life with my husband and it cause me exstreme pain in that area for days after intercourse bleeding even accures in that area. It has and is continuing to effect me psychologically and physically. I want to sue due to the effects it has and is continuing to effect my every day life. I also cannot afford therapy or nesacary treatment (re-stitching) due to this problem. Can I do this?

I have a 15 year old child that now has a paralyzed stomach that is from having her appendix removed. At mary bridge
and the same dr has done this to other kids. Is this something i should follow up on !!

Hi there about a year ago I severed the tendon on the inside of the second knuckle, small finger, right hand and had to get it reattached. I went to the hospital here in alberta where I've moved to from Ontario for work and the docter confirmed thatmy finger would need surgery without taking any x rays. As he was explaining I had to be careful before the surgery because the tendon could slip deeper into my finger making it a bigger surgery he found the tip of the tendon in my finger and squeezed it with his thumb making it pop down from under his thumb deeper into my finger. It hurt a lot but I didn't question it as I thought he was just examining it and knew what he was doing. I came back in three days later and be examined my finger again before the surgery. The thing is he did the same thing (squeezed my finger when he found the tip of the tendon) again causing the same result of the tendon popping out deeper into the base of my finger this time from under his thumb. This is when I really began to question his professionalism but he proceeded with the note taking then anesthesia then the surgery. I woke up and a few hours later had extreme pain down my entire right forearm. It dealt like it had been driven over by a car. But It didnt seem significant as it was my first surgery and I didn't know what to expect pain wise. I was still grogy from the anesthesia when I was let out of the hospital and only had my phone to call someone to pick me up which had died sometime during the 4 hour wait befor surgery. I didn't think to use the pay phone and so I went outside and started walking (I would thing quite apparently incapable of walking out of a hospital alone) and began hitch hiking. I got a ride and was able to use the mans phone to call my brother to pick me up. I think close to 2 months later I was back to have the cast removed that was in place to protect the stitching and rubber block tied into my finger to anchor my tendon. When it was off the nurse proceeded to take out the stitches which were quite tight into deep scabs that had formed. I asked to be let to remove them myself and was refused. The nurse left to get a better pair of tweezers for the job and while she was gone I removed the remaining stitches as I had done it before and felt I could do a smoother less horrifying job than herself. She returned as I was removing the last stitches and seemed surprised but not annoyed (I guess it just made her job easier). I hadn't done anything with the stitching and rubber cube on the back of my finger because I wasn't sure of the extent of it so the nurse cut the stitching on top and removed the rubber block. Now she had to pull the stitch out of my finger (the one that went into the back of the tip of the finger through the tendon and back up through the same spot) she proceeded by taking a pair of tweezers/plyers grabbing ahold of the stitch and pulling (hard) the stitch don't budge And I passed out from the pain. This is the first time I've ever passed out from sheer pain and I have quite a high pain tolerance. I was only out for a few seconds but I had slumped back onto the bed I was sitting on and as I came to she said. What are you doing? Get up. And pulled again at this point I pulled my arm in holding my hand and wouldn't let her try again. She went to get the doctor to do it And he came in and snipped the stitching off at the skin saying it didn't even need to be pulled out. I went home and looked up the different types of physio therapy he had ssuggested and worked on my finger daily for a couple weeks before wondering why the tip of my finger was still incapable of moving. The second knuckle which was previously fine although that is were the tendon was cut but it affected the tip of my fingers movement. But this knuckles movement was now inhibited and painful. The tip of my finger still incapable of movement I continued with therapy. I went back for a follow up I think three weeks after the cast was removed and even though the do yet saw no movement in the tip of my finger he told me it would be fine and to continue with therapy which I did. 3 or 4 months later I had still had no progress whatsoever with my finger but I had decided to put off having it looked at again until my trip back to Ontario were I could go to a familiar hospital to have it checked out. When I got to Ontario I went to the hospital and the doctor immediately knew something was wrong so he had an x ray taken and when he talked to me after viewing the X-rays and seing the extent of the surgery he said it was a mess and confirmed the surgery was not a success. It's now 1 year after the surgery and I have not had it dealt with as I am back in alberta and fear going back to the hospital here. It hadn't been an inconvenience until the winter when it began causing me chronic pain. It always gets extremely cold when I work and has become quite a hinderance at work and in daily life as it is so weak and sensitive from built up scar tissue and uselessness. I don't know what to do about it and have heard various other more tradgic stories coming from this same hospital. The doctors and nurses in general seems to have no knowledge or care for their patients or work. I look foreword to a reply to help explain some of the steps that need to be taken to have help from the government or someone to be properly taken care of in this situation. Also I'm a Canadian citizen so if you aren't able to benifit from my situation please still be able to take the time to help a fellow human. Regards, Kent Holley
