On Feb 13, 2023, I was admitted for childbirth and requested an epidural. It was administered by **************, MD at 9:05am. Around 5pm, I started to feel sensations of pain. The attending nurse **************************, RN said it could be due to the position of my body. The pain became excruciating around 6pm, so the nurse summoned an anesthesiologist, whose name we did not register and cannot find in any records from JMH. Anesthesiologist checked the line and noticed that it was not connected to the feed in my back, and all of the liquid had been spilling onto the mattress. Rather than remedying the problem, the staff started placing blame on others. Then, the anesthesiologist quickly ran out and came back with a drug that he said should work quicker than the drug normally used. The drug was administered, but we have no record of it.I'd like to address a few very concerning issues:1. The new (additional) drug used unnecessarily increased the risk to me and my baby. This was not normal protocol, but rather a deviation made to remedy the errors made by the medical staff 2. The previous dose of epidural was improperly billed to my insurance provider, even though the medicine was wasted by being spilled into the mattress, rather than alleviating my pain. I underwent unnecessary pain and discomfort as a direct result of the errors made by the medical staff 3. There's no mention of this mishap in the charts. In fact, it appears the staff went out of their way to exclude all information related to the emergency visit by the second anesthesiologist. After requesting the full medical record from JMH, the incident appears missing altogether I developed an allergic reaction from epidural, which was documented by my delivery OB. I'd like to know all the drugs that were administered to me to figure out the culprit.I am requesting a prompt and thorough review of the events that transpired that evening. Attached is the record I received from JMH.
