Medical Scare – Three

We registered for consultation with famous Doctor (OBG) at nearest Hospital in Kochi. We waited for almost 2-3 hours, when we were called for consultation, Doctor asked few questions related to pregnancy and previous pregnancy and she asked me to go outside and wait.

When I was called back inside the consultation room, doctor had decided and already performed internal examination and the doctor was furious. She said, “Your wife’s water is broken, and we need to take her to labor ward for C-section, any how she has taken food in the morning, we can deliver the baby by 4 pm.”

Again we were scared. We informed, we were not interested to get admitted and opt for C-section. She said, “You don’t have a choice, and I cannot send you from the hospital, you need to make a decision, she needs medical intervention.”

I persisted that we will go back and consult our family and we don’t want to admit now. She said “You can call and consult your family, but if you want to go out of this hospital, you need to give a letter mentioning that it is your responsibility and you are going against the medical advice, if required you will come to an emergency room, not to OBG department”

Finally, I did give a letter and got released from the jail!

To remind you my wife delivered a healthy baby naturally after few days of this incident.
