There are no words to describe the inhumane experience my wife had at All Women's Care. We arrived for the scheduled D & C, where I was not even allowed into the waiting room to be with my wife. She describes how she was taken into the surgical prep room, where she was treated with zero sympathy, as if she was coming in for a routine check up, nothing significant or emotional. It felt like an abortion factory, and money making business, with no sympathy from the unprofessional staff. After the sonogram and "surgical prep" my wife was sent into a room for so-called 'counseling'. Yet, this was the complete opposite of counseling it was trauma inducing! My wife explains how she was waiting for some sympathy or kind words, but was welcomed with you owe us a full amount because of this "elective abortion". She needed to fend for herself and explain that this was a miscarriage, yet was met with a 'business as usual' response. My wife was obviously in tears after being treated so coldly from this "counseling woman" and the nurses during such a sensitive time, she was told to stop crying or else it would not be good for when the anesthesia would be administered. She explains that after the procedure, she was shook awake and forced out of the bed to a chair, likely because the next person came just minutes after she moved to the chair (an abortion factory). She was nauseous, overwhelmed, and emotional. They did not even offer a drink or anything, just waited for her to get dressed and leave, offering no assistance with walking or anything of that sort.
We couldn't even think of going back for the post-op visit 2 weeks later, we did because of protocol. This time, she was given a sonogram where my wife heard the sonographer relayed 2 quick words to the doctor. When my wife walked in she was met with an iPad, where the doctor who was on it introduced himself and my wife quickly realized that the doctor on the iPad was CLEARLY not the doctor who operated on her The doctor on the iPad was the name of the one she was meant to see. The doctor who operated on her didn't introduce himself and did not have a name tag, so of course my wife assumed it was the one she was supposed to see!
This was a traumatic and horrible experience for both of us. To the point, where when relaying this experience people can't understand how this could have happened. D & Cs are procedures supposed to be handled with compassion, sympathy, and professionalism. Patients are supposed to be treated like any other outpatient procedure. If anyone wants to save themselves additional pain, stress, and disappointment, DON'T go here. read more
