GOOD RIDDANCE

Hunter and Randi's Mom

I can relate. I beat myself up regularly over my choice of doctor for Hunter and Randi. I listened to this terrible OB when he said not to worry even when the doctor doing the ultrasounds was concerned. But as others have told me, we did the best with the information we had at the time. Of course looking back we would have made different decisions, but as you said, we can only worry about today. I am glad your doctor will no longer be seeing patients.
Hugs,
Marissa

Lauren,

I remember how I felt when I heard that my doctor had been fired from his practice about 8 weeks after Riley's birth.

I'm sure hearing this is like picking off a scab that will never truly heal.

Love you!

How could you have known? But, oh, how I wish you had! It's unbelievable that this information was not disclosed. I'm glad no one else will have to suffer because of her incompetence.

Lauren,

I do the same thing beating myself up about the doctors who cared for Avery and I. They were horrible and none of them are still working in our area at least.

It's easy to tell you not to blame yourself...but harder to follow that advice. Hopefully you can just think about all the people who won't be negatively affected by that terrible doctor!

Love,
Megan.

ps-I can't believe what a big boy Micah is now! He and Tanner definitely have to meet!

Lauren, I apologize for missing this post. Oh friend, this is my same regret! My heart just aches because I feel the same way. I had an unwanted transfer of care to someone who had absolutely no business taking care of me. I knew the signs of preeclampsia. She dimissed them and I never made it to my next appt. I called her that fateful Thursday evening with concerns and she dismissed them again. It was already too late by then (as we would later discover), but she still shows up to deliver our son so that she can get paid! I am SO glad that yours in no longer practicing. Mine is and I worry about the high-risk patients she's treating (if any). Urgh, hard to let go of the guilt and regret. We'll get there . . . one day . . . with lots of hugs and encouraging words.

Hugs,

Lindsay

Lauren -

I too am sorry you went through all this with a doctor who never should have been practicing. I had a doctor who had a hospital wing named after him, and who ignored all the signs of an abruption. He was arrogant, and downright mean to me.

Sending you hugs, rainbows and beautiful sunsets.

I'm glad that you have the knowledge that others will not have to follow in your footsteps and feel the heartache that you feel because of her negligence. I know it doesn't help the "what ifs" in your mind, but hopefully my hugs will help with that!! : )

Yes awful Dr.'s My "old" Dr. still practice, I know I can't do a thing about it, and when I heard someone goes with him, I just say to look for better references and to get a second opinion for hard situations, but anger still is in me, but I know justice will be done, somewhere, somehow someone is taking a score...... So at least you can have some "peace" of mind knowing this awful OB is gone for good.......
Hugs to you

I hear you guys. I had a doctor call all the symptoms of severe early onset Preclampsia "normal in pregnancy" and "common in the third trimester" (I was in my late SECOND) and the signs I was expreincing as "anxiety" I am glad your OB can't hurt any other moms and babies... I know this probably doesn't offer you much comfort. But there it is. I am so sorry for the loss you suffered. Much love. -Kate
