**I had the D&C today, every thing went well, even my old doc was respectful and reasonably nice. My throat is a little sore and I am still sleepy, but the pain is way better now than it was before. The doctor said there was still quite a bit of retained tissue as well as the sac, so we did the right thing by not waiting. This made me feel better about having the d&c. I am barely bleeding, which is also an improvement.

So remember how HORRIBLE the other ER was? They sent me a letter of apology and a coupon for a free lunch. Sigh. That totally makes up for what happened. NOT.

At least I can hopefully move on now. **





I finally got the call from my old evil doc (who I had to go crawling back to so that I could get some care) I am having a d&c tomorrow. After last nights horrors, I would take a d&c from a dentist. I am going to copy and paste what happened last night from my blog.

"On Tuesday night I started hemorrhaging and passing things that looked like they belong in a horror movie, the pain was rough, but I could take it. After over three hours of this, I started to feel flush and dizzy and freaked out. I called the Ob and he didn't call back for 72 mins, I timed him. He said I would be fine, as long as I didn't pass out, though that could be normal. worse, so bad I couldn't stand. I went to ER and was taken right back to a room, the pain had my blood pressure through the roof. The intake nurse asked my pain on a 1-10 scale and I told her I was a 9. I figured SOMEONE would help me...but she vanished and never came back.

I know the ER is a busy place, so I waited. But the pain just became worse and worse, I started blacking out, had soaked though my gown and sheets and was sobbing. I called the nurses station twice but no one came to my room for 2 hours.

The doctor came in and took my information, I was pretty much incoherent by then, but I heard him say they were going to bring me pain meds and he would do a pelvic exam. Thirty minutes later he came in to do the pelvic exam and found fetal tissue trapped in my cervix. Since he was already there he removed it, but that entailed lots of pain. I was crying like a baby and I said, "at least a Tylenol would have been nice before this". He was upset and thought the nurses had given me the pain meds already!

He was going to send me home, but when he called my ob, he said he wanted an ultrasound done and said if there was more tissue, I needed a d&c right away. I finally was given something for the pain and went for the ultrasound. To my horror I hadn't even passed the sac.

There was a snag though, the on call ob refused to do a d&c for a blighted ovum.
Saying, I will pass the sac in 2-3 days, she also said I will continue to cramp badly and bleed until then.

They sent me home with 12 vicoden, sobbing.

Now for even more fun, the horrible pains are back. Some of you may recall I have had an ob issue, my old ob's will NOT see anyone with any high risks, I am all kinds of them (this is a malpractice ins issue), so they sent me to a high risk doc. I was not impressed with him, but I had no choice. The big problem now is the high risk doc does not do d&c's at all and no ob will take me on as a miscarriage if they had not seen me as a pregnant patient. "

So sorry you have to go through this. What a nightmare! I can't believe the hospital didn't have someone they could have done the D&C for you. I hope everything goes well the next few days and you don't need to seek medical attention anymore. (((HUGS)))

How horrible! How could anyone put a woman through so much? I want to strangle those docs and nurses. Grrrr

[RinkMom]

Reading your post brought back some horrible memories.

I am so sorry to hear that you are still going thru all of this. The way you have been treated is unbelievable!!

I will be thinking of you.

[BuckeyeGal23]

omg, I can't believe you had to go through all of that!! How terrible - I can't even imagine. I am glad you are getting a d&c today - hopefully that helps. My heart goes out to you

[SD Mommy]

Having a m/c is a terrible experience by itself but I going through what you are going through is heart breaking. Sending lots of hugs your way. I hope you can put this behind you soon.

[KDD]

I'm glad that you were able to get the D&C done. I hope that you are feeling better.

[RinkMom]

Coupon for a free lunch? And that is supposed to make up for what you went thru. I guess the good thing is that they acknowledged they were wrong -- which most ERs probably wouldn't do.

Glad to hear that you are feeling better since the D&C.

[~LaurenNoel~]

I hope you have a quick recovery. *hugs*

[..Michelle..]

"A free lunch"?? That is B.S. I am so sorry you had to go thru such agony and pain.

[JessP]

I am so sorry you had to go through all of that. I am glad you are feeling better now. I pray you continue to mend.

[mmllhh]

Free lunch? are you kidding, like a salad and a soda is going to make you feel better. Jerks.

[Jennifer8080]

Hugs! I'm so sorry that you had to go through all that. I would most definitely make a complaint with the ethics department or a patient advocate at the first hospital you went to. I hope you continue to feel better.
