I plan on going to a state rep about this and I am wondering how many of you have been through a traumatic experience whether you or a loved one. Mistake of Emergency room doctor could have cost a life or did. Please only serious responses. Our story is located at
http://www.myspace.com/momdadand4kids
It is about my four year old son. I also plan on suing the hospital anybody had to do this? Any suggestions? I just want our story out and where we live it seems nobody wants to fight the hospital because they are "big time" here. Doctors should not be allowed to treat people the way my son was treated and I had the meeting with CEO, contacted joint commissions, still getting paperwork together for the medical board. Only option left is the lawsuit so the hospital will know I am serious. Anyone with any help I would appreciate it. Thanks Also feel free to leave comments on my space page. I always approve them before allowing them to be added.

I just want to say I don't think all doctors are bad. I just think the ones who are need to be sought out. It is not just that I am angry with the treatment of my son. Some have left not so nice responses. This is really hurtful and apparently they don't have any children or they would behaved alot better. I would just like everyone know that out of all of this week of episodes of my son there were some outstanding doctors and one especially who in my book saved my son's life. He was the ENT that performed the emergency surgery on my son. I am very grateful to him he left his family on a Friday night around 10pm to perform emergency surgery! So it is not that I am spiteful towards all doctors its just when you have a child in the ER and the doctor refuses to come and check on your child in pain, later you find out the pain was due to hemmorhaging you would be very upset too! We were still in the ER when all this happened and the doctor would not check on my son. Who's 2 blame

Doctors place our lives in their hands.. I COMPLETELY agree that any complaints should be publicly known, so that we know to avoid these doctors, or so that those such doctors are forced to charge less, and people who can't afford good doctors can take their risk with these cheap doctors. Of course it would be even better if all good doctors were affordable, but this isn't a utopia, and the main point of this is, yes, the public should know how bad the doctor they're seeing is.

I think you need to walk a thin line here and not give the whole medical profession a black eye. I'm sure you feel that your son was done wrong and i feel for you, bu many times i have needed a physicans help and fast. My son has come close to death more times than once and the doctore have always come through for him. I'm very sorry about your son but please go after the one who did the damage and not everyone else.

I read your story. I have 3 boys. I am horribly ticked at the way you were treated. YES, this complaint should be taken to the public. Call your local news station, keep calling places till you get someone to listen. This is just awful. I am glad your son is ok now, but that all could have been prevented.

I believe that it should be. The doctor that delivered my first child by C Section had many lawsuits for deaths of babies and complications due to delivery for the mom. Had I known this I would have seen a more reliable doctor.

absolutely! you don't know which doctors graduated with C's and which ones graduated with A's. patient comments should be common place in hospitals to let incoming and old patients alike know what the doctors have done wrong and what they have done right. make it waiting room reading material or something.
the story i have is about a neighbor, she gave birth to healthy twin boys, when they gave them their shots one of them was given the wrong thing. he "got" cerebral palsy. he's now deceased, and his twin brother (identical) is learning how to drive.
that doctor is still working. at least let us make comments about doctors known, can we say freedom of speech?

So sue the doctor and hospital. Whether you win or not, you can always take your story to Dateline.

i was not able to pull up your space to be able to view the complaint... did you get a hold of the insurance commission in your state? get a hold of your local Senator... working in the medical field these are what we give to our patients... trust me that you will get an answer..

Give it a rest already, you've posted this twice and no one seems to care. I personally think you are just angry because you wanted instant treatment for you kid and it didn't happen. Good grief.
