second D & C

[dd0207]

Hi Lozzy, I am very sorry for your loss

I lost my little boy at 21 weeks and had to have 2 curettes to clean out the retained placenta. I also had a very bad infection that required 7 weeks of antibiotics to cure.

My doctor and hospital was covered by my health insurance but I refused to pay for the anesthetic second time round - other than what medicare and health insurance covered that is. So I wrote him a letter thanking him for taking care of me during the procedure but felt I should not have to pay the gap due to Dr **** incompetence. The gap was close to $400 so I told him to send the bill to my OB ! It must have worked as I have not received a reminder to pay as yet and that was 6 months ago.

I know these things can happen but it just adds salt to our already badly bleeding wounds and doctors should be more careful considering the potential risk. My OB used a camera second time around to ensure he got it all out.

I wish you all the best and I pray that your second D&C goes smoothly.
