Can I sue doctor if she broke my sea druing pregnancy exam?
My ob broke my water during my 38th week exam. She stayed me in hospital right away and induced the labor. However, infection broke in 12 hours next when I only got dilation of 4.5 cms and efface of 70%. So they did c-section, which is something I never planned for and sorta hate. I own everything she did after breaking my water was correct and professional, but just cannot carry rid of the thinking that c-section could be avoid if she didn't break water accidentally, which might allow more time for natural dilation. Can I sue my ob? Or rather, should I sue her? Thanks.
no if she broke your water that jammy your baby was ready to come anyway ask yourself this did your tot arrive ok? did it have any problems? just be glad you had your kid not all women are that blessed
NO you should not sue your OB. Even though she broke your water she wasn't negligent within doing so- she was performing a routine exam which is a part of normal obstetrical vigilance. The infection could have happened even it had ruptured readily. Even if you did sue her no judge would grant you any damages because you and your baby are fine- even if you do "sorta hate" the reality that you had a c-section- just be grateful you have a sound baby!
Answers: Sure, sue her and after let's all wonder why medical costs are skyrocketing.
If you are now fine and your baby is fine, along near the fact that everything was done to keep you as safe and sound as possible, consider yourself lucky and move on.
I would consider talking to a legal advisor first. I wouldn't pocket advice on a yahoo forum for something that is as important as this situation. I would be as concerned as you. So what would it hurt to attain a legal advisors thoughts just to get an thought. You can also call other practices and find out if your concern is something to consider at a legal standpoint.
Well that's one reason I'm not in school to be a ob write immediately! People are sue happy, you were full term and the child is fine.otherwise you would have put that in there as very well. What makes you think these things wouldn't have happen regardless? Things happen but go ahead and sue, If you ever get preg again no obgyn will bring you.
I wouldn't sue. Your baby be full term and fine. Especially if you had good insurance that remunerated from most of your c-section.
But you could file a complaint with the medical board or some agency such as that. I depends on where you live etc. to whom you should contact.
I follow you not wanting a c-section. I had two and they are not fun. But with the info that you have provided, it lately doesn't seem like a case that you should pursue surrounded by the courts.
I understand why you would be upset going on for the situation... but we truly are only human and as much of a professional as she is, and that she should have been more scrupulous.. sueing her for that would just be silly, and the case would probably be lost.
This is the problem with America.. too many sue happy relations.. You'll probably lose your case and alot of money if you try to sue for that.. it was an accident.. ti's not close to she did it on purpose, not to mention that you were full term anyways so it's not close to she was putting your baby at risk.
No you should not... in todays society you probably could but you shouldnt.. when you choose her to be your OB you were surrounded by trusting your baby in her hands and she give you a perfectly healthy baby.. she may own accidently broke your water but you cant prove that you wouldnt have had to own a c section anyway. your water can accidently break during sex too, would you sue your husband? its just not right she did everything to the best of her fitness if you thought she was a bad doctor you would have gone before your 38th week.
Get over it. Do not be so petty as to sue her. Just because she broke your water on twist of fate doesn't have anything to do with why you needed a C-section. You either dialate or not, when or how your hose broke is irrelevant.
I'm usually not a fan of suing people, but honestly, I think you should. A mistake she made cause you to need major surgery that you most likely would not hold needed. I wouldn't sue for the money, but merely because that is called medical malpractice, and she should be held accountable.
Was your infant ok? If there was no harm to the newborn, I would mark it up as a mistake and just move on. Things close to that happen. Source(s): mom, 12yo boy, 8yo boy, expecting #3 11-19-09 Another Boy.
I don't muse you should sue her. Your baby is healthy and was born undamagingly and that's what matters. This would be a pretty frivolous lawsuit.
No. Everybody wants to sue everybody these days. If you and baby are fine after why? Sounds as ridiculous as saying I'm going to sue McDonalds because my hamburger is burnt.
I wouldn't sue her. You were really due to pop anytime anyway.
I really dont think you should sue her...it was freshly a mistake let it go and live happily..dont even hold it as a grudge towards her.
Even great culture make mistakes ;)
I agree with Dogbot.
Really, what is the point in suing her?
You hold your baby, and it's healthy right?
Are you just money hungry and greedy because you have to do something you didn't want too?
Hey there
This is pretty desperate news... If i were you, i would look at it from various points of scenery, i.e. Is the baby healthy and in pious condition? because many women have early or belated births and majority turn out just fine. I understand that anybody that was surrounded by your position would want more time for natural dilation. ok.i would sue her ***, theres no room for error when it comes to your child. if you didnt have a C section after i would not sue as long as the child was fine. however, due to her mal practice you now have a blemish. which i would advise be the reason for the the lawsuit.
Due to the fact that majority of women only just hit their exact time and are often a week or two either way.
Hope this Helps
xD Luck
as long as you and your baby are healthy..dont waste your time...your doctor may enjoy accidentally broken your water..but atleast they knew exactly what to do to keep you and your child alive.things begin...things that you cant control.be happy you have your baby
Two weeks before my daughter was born, I go in for my exam, and my doctor went too far up in my uterus and I started bleeding right away, it be an accident on his part and he was really starting to achieve worried, because it took me forever to stop bleeding, he did everything he could to make it stop and he kept me there to make sure everything be fine.
He did everything right, he kept me there, he kept an eye on me, he stayed with me to make sure me and my daughter be ok, after his accident, and we were.
I spotted for two weeks, was a week overdue, and have a healthy daughter on July 12, 1997!
No one is perfect, not even doctors, as long as your doctor made sure you and your baby be fine, then he did nothing wrong, accidents surface.
Time to forgive and forget.
And count your blessings.
Why would you sue her? It was an happenstance.. your bag of water was probably prepared to burst anyways..things happen.. doctors are not perfect..besides.. you could of went home and have sex with your husband and your water could of broke.. would you sue him? I really don't think you hold much of a case.. maybe if your baby be put in the NICU or even passed away.. maybe you would have a better accidental.. I am sure she feels awful but at least she stayed with you from the start.. do the right entity and send her a thank you card for bringing your baby into this world..
