Good thing I changed OBs.

My mom just told me about an article she read in our local newspaper a few weeks ago. Remember Dr. Lee's office? The one I had bad feelings about, didn't feel comfortable there, and never got to meet with the doctor?

Welll.... come to find out, Dr. Lee is being sued for malpractice. He did a c-section on a woman, there were complications, and she wasn't properly monitored. They sent her over to ICU, and the ICU doctor told Dr. Lee that he needed to get her back in the OR and open her up. Dr. Lee disagreed with the on-call ICU doctor, and the woman ended up bleeding to death. Come to find out, she was hemmhoraging, but he didn't want to open her up and find out. I feel so bad for her family. She already had one child, and this was her second. Now her husband is raising 2 children by himself, and the youngest never got to meet her mother simply because of a doctor's stubbonness.

I mean, c'mon, yeah c-sections are considered "major" surgery, but still. The main complications of it are hemorrhaging and infection. Thank God I changed OBs.

Here's the article.
