your experience at HMC sounds awful...you said you were pregnant right?
Now, if possible avoid giving birth at HMC. The midwife lunatic I had tried to put an entire tube of AIR in my IV--I am sure you already now that even a tiny air bubble is quite lethal or in the very least can cause a stroke. Anywho, thank God the machine turned off, due to sensitivty settings that are set by the manufacturers for the safety of the patient. I remember telling the midwife that there were little air bubbles going into the the vein before that incident, she told me just to go to sleep as she was having a chat with her colleague.
Later on, I woke and heard these alarms coming from the machine and then I realized she was removing the IV tubing and When I realized how much air was in the tubing I couldn't believe she attatched it to me in the first place!
When I was studying in health care honest to goodness not puting air in veins or arteries was a substantial basic that was stressed over and over again--the midwife was from Tunisia--so either she faked her credentials or Tunisia is one place not to get sick.
I would like to submit a formal complaint, because peoples' live are seriously at risk here, but to who? Really, anytime I asked any question at all I was told to shut-up and go to sleep and then have the staff warn each other in Arabic (which is a language I do speak) that I ask to many questions. So, I was thinking how am I going to relay the seriousness of this issue if no one will listen to me!!
