Pregnancy Info HOME

I hate doctors, I am going through the same thing right now. I went in for a section on the 8th of Feb, I was back in the hospital on the 18th of Feb with infection. I went in with a fever of 103 the night before and they sent me home, told me I had a kidney infection. The next morning(the 18th) I put the baby down and went to the bathroom I felt warm down my leg and thought I was bleeding. As soon as I pulled my pants down my incision poored out a reddish brown nastiness! Thank god for my mother being there she called the ambulance and I was readmitted the the hospital.
In the ER everyone said it was infection and they wanted OB to see it, so when OB came she reopened me, the most painful thing ever and I had morphine too. She opened my stomach like I was her mail! With her finger straight accross like I was an envelope! After she took the infection out she packed me and I stayed for 2 nights. They released me with a nurse for 10 visits to my home, it is now the 3rd of March and I still have a pocket that has to be drained 2x aday. Everywhere else I am healing but that pocket. I am hoping I don't have to go back to the hospital. Bottom line I have a lawyer I will not hesitate to take legal action. I know I will have a case, because I also work at the Hospital that did my surgery and I know what goes on there. If I where you I would get a second opinion and a new doctor cause that is what I have to do. I am so sorry for this happening to you.
