Negligence

They lied to me and separated my son from me, leaving me at CHUM and him going to St. Justine. They wouldn't tell me how he was, he cried when he was born and they said I must of been delirious from the meds gave to me during the emergency c section. Also they were too worried about finding a vein to give me meds to stop the contractions to listen to me .His heart rate and oxygen were dropping dangerously low, I had that same problem with my first born and he needed to come out ASAP. My firstborn survived because I got the proper care at the IWK hospital in NS. St. Justines didn't care what I had to say. I was a High Risk pregnancy and they knew I was living on the street and nobody would help me. They treated me like a piece of dirt and wouldn't hospitalize me even tho I was assured that they would help me. After the surgery at CHUM they wouldn't even let me see him. They just ignored my pleas and said later. Then they sent him to St. Justines without even telling me.I wasn't even given pain meds for the surgery but the worst pain was them treating us like this. A premature baby has a better chance if he's with his mother AMAP and they should of taken me to St Justines as soon as they could move me. They only came to tell me something about him when he got really sick. So sick they told me it wasn't if he was going to pass but when. He was having constant seizures and they said that his lungs had started bleeding. I was on a strong medication for seizures while pregnant that are also very dangerous to come off of without a deceased dose over time. They were not giving him the medication and weaning him like they were supposed to. That is severe negligence, they wouldn't listen, they said that I was wrong and his lungs were very underdeveloped. That's when they said that I was wrong and he never cried but I remember even the male nurse commenting on what a strong little cry he had. So they only took me to him when he was past any hope. I held him for the first time the day he passed away and I held him until his last breath. They said it was my choice if I felt Like I wanted them to keep trying, when I held him at the end he wasn't seizing and he was breathing without gasping. They refused and said they gave him a strong dose of morphine so he would stop breathing soon. WTF????? I know the morphine didn't take away seizures and I saw him breathing. They lied and I watched my child Nico die as I held him. I wanted an autopsy and I said this, they had to, they were supposed to be good doctors who tried until there was no chance but would do anything to save a child, right? No, they cremated my son without doing an autopsy saying it was caused by brain trauma and him being premature. Babies survive from 21 weeks now, he was almost 33 weeks. They said they already knew so deemed it unnecessary. That's what they told me, it was unnecessary. I was mistreated, and that was nothing compared to them mistreating an infant. They need to be held accountable for the mistakes they made so no other mother and child ever have to go through this type of pain again. I was living on the street and had trouble with addiction. I found out I was pregnant at 21 weeks. No symptoms and I got all the right help with my addiction right away. I needed to be kept in the Hospital as a High Risk pregnancy and they turned me away. They were biased towards me and they were neglecting my son's healthcare needs .What did he do wrong, I loved him from the first movement and he was always healthy and growing at the right rate during my check ups for him but I was told I needed lots of bed rest. I didn't have a home, they said that St Justines would take me, they turned me away. If anyone else has had issues like mine whether you're an addict, homeless or not please put a comment so we can talk more privately off of this sight. I'm just saying that there's something really wrong with how they managed my case. Criminal Negligence towards the people you took a Hippocratic Oath to do everything and anything to help your patients without being biased in any way. That's why I thought I was going to be ok and me and my baby would get the help we needed. I have never forgiven myself for his loss, I felt Like I could of forced them to hear me and take me to my son right away. I did all of that but in the end it fell on deaf ears. Don't let this happen to you and your family 96.44.72.132 (talk) 22:54, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
