Wow
If lya has ANY of you fooled into believing she is a "
very knowledgeable, experienced medical professional" then.....I just don't have the words, sorry. Unbelievable. You need to reevaluate what and whom you consider a "knowledgeable, experienced medical professional" before you or your loved ones winds up dead, disabled or otherwise.
I'd love to know what your qualifications are exactly, lya? Please. fill me in.
A trained medical professional SHOULD know that a category X drug in pregnancy is not something to which you would comment "
Anyway, don't panic; one pill is all you took, right?"
This
ONE DOSE is especially designed to do just that, END a pregnancy. Wouldn't you feel a little freaked out too, were you to find yourself in the situation?
A trained medical professional would also know better than to make a statement such as "I'm amazed that your husband conceived and that you resurrected a three year old thread."
Yep, I'd be amazed if my HUSBAND conceived too. That would be a dandy miracle. Does that happen often in your neck of the woods, or am I missing something?
If it weren't for the very knowledgeable, experienced medical professional(s) that I had the misfortune of dealing with this past Monday, life would be a big stinkin' bowl of cherries for me right now.
Instead, because of a totally oblivious Dr., I now "get" to decide whether to pursue this much desired pregnancy, in hopes of a normal healthy outcome (which the statistics are REALLY dismal) Can you imagine carrying a child inside your body for 9 months, THEN adding to the normal, natural concern any mother endures in regards to her unborn child during that time by increasing the odds of it's demise to about 90%? THAT'S cruel to say the VERY least.
OR, I could just allow them to finish offing my baby right now, and wonder for the rest of my life if it would have been all right.
Not an easy decision to make. I suggest placing yourself or your wife, mother, sister, loved one, etc., in my shoes and take a moment to reconsider your question about why I would take offense to lya's post. It was plain mean. And if I really need to explain WHY then you people are so far beyond help, I won't even BEGIN to waste my time explaining.
As far as resurrecting a 3 year old thread, for Pete's sake shoot me. I googled, it came up. I posted because my situation is identical. Most forums suggest that a user search the archives of any particular subject BEFORE starting redundant threads. If that's not the way things work here, A) I hardly think it mattered. If you all are so anal that something so trivial is going to get you all riled up when I was posting with a real, legitimate, medical NIGHTMARE for myself and my Husband and family then you really need a refresher course in manners. Or is it common practice to bash someone new to your site from all ends over a DATE? If you are all "
knowledgable, experienced medical professionals" then I can't say I'm surprised by your bedside manner. Not one bit.
Let's see if this post actually shows. I tried to post similarly at least 3 times today, but mysteriously, none of the posts appeared. I'll save this one in case I need to copy and paste again.
Oh and in response to your query "
I wonder....what would you, or your family, have done if you were sent home with an ectopic that eventually ruptured?"
Well, that would be the reason I went to the ER in the first place, to determine if it WAS a bona fide ectopic. Not to murder my perfectly healthy (by all indicators so far) fetus. So I SHOULD have had NO reason to fear any such outcome as rupturing and dying. Or is the medical community on the practice of offing any and all pregnancies they choose, just because of the risk they carry? Even a perfectly normal healthy pregnancy has it's risks, maybe we should abort those too...just in case?
And the snarky remark at the end of your post which I see you have now deleted...what am I here for? Or what am I after? I can't recall your precise wording, but I catch your "subtle hint" I'm here for the same damn reason the rest of you are. It's in the title of the forum, Dear. "Medical and Health Care Malpractice Includes Doctor, Dentist, Druggist, Hospital and Nursing Home Malpractice" I don't understand where that needs clarification.
What I also don't understand is WHY I continue to waste my time and energy posting here. You all are obviously hopeless. But you're making it practically irresistible not to respond...I've never seen such ignorance in my life.
