Loved the lab technician it definitely made up for the long wait and the screaming 2 year old in the waiting room!
Was treated in the emergency room department early Saturday morning and throughout the day. The entire staff I encountered was extremely attentive, compassionate and professional. Can't thank them enough for all they did for me.
It blows my mind how much of a miracle baby Brooke is. The odds were against us and we beat them
1. I had endometriosis, which creates scar tissue and can block ovaries. I should have never been able to get pregnant in the first place
2. I had too much amniotic fluid and was considered high risk during my 3rd trimester.
3. When being induced, I had an amniotic embalism. An amniotic clot had passed to my brain and I temporarily died of a stroke. Causing stress on Brooke, I needed an emergency c-section.
4.also during delivery, my blood wouldn't clot, so I bled out, died again, then had to have an emergency hysterectomy.
What happened to Brooke and I was 1 in every 180,000 births. At women and infants it only happens every 10 years and most cases do not end well for mom or baby. I sadly have to repeat this story to myself every day because I still cannot beleive it. I'm so thankful that Brooke turned out just fine. I couldn't be more blessed with her. We would not be here if it wasn't for the expertise of everyone at Women and Infants.
Every one was so tentative and caring. Nurses and doctors who helped during delivery would visit me daily for the week I was there. Along with the stroke, I suffered from temporary amnesia. Everyone was so patient with me and my horrible memory. I couldn't have asked for a better staff!
This is by far the worst hospital I have ever been too!!!!!!!!!! I do not recommend this hospital to anyone, nor the experience I had to go through upon anyone. Nurse almost gave my 1 week old son the wrong medication. Most Nurses have no compassion for patients nor children. 1 out of 20 nurses know what they are doing and what they are talking about. I would never ever go to W&I again. For the sake of your children, I recommend you do the same!!
My experience at women's and infants was outstanding. My baby was born 35 weeks early and the care that every nurse gave not only me and my baby but my husband was amazing. The doctors took their time to explain what was going on and not once did I feel like they were talking down to me. My baby will be turning a month in just a few days and it all because of the wonderful doctor's and nurses at women's and infants.
