Re: bad experience with Neurosurgens?...and Damian K.'s story

[Guest guest]

Thanks for sharing your story. The care you recieve sounds

horrible.

When they tested you for GBS around 37 weeks was that negative or

positive? My sister with her first son was GBS positive but they

didn't realize it until she was tested positive with her 2nd son (as

you can become GBS at any point in pregnancy...she was negative when

they tested around 37 weeks with her first son but her first son had

a lot of the side effects of not having the antibiotic which it

sounds like your son did too). With her 2nd son, since the test at

37 weeks showed positive, they treated her in the hospital for it

and he is/was totally fine. Is Damian healthy and doing well now?

My sister's son (now 2) is doing fine but it was very scary in the

beginning...he too was full-term (actually 4 days late) and was in

the NICU at first.

My water broke (on its own) and my contractions didn't pick-up. I

too am GBS positive. But because of my water was broken they needed

to put me on pitocin to get labor going but not too fast (they

kicked up the pitocin once I got the required amount of antibiotics

for the GBS). Hopefully, you have a new OB if you have more kids

and MUCH BETTER care than what you recieved with Damian. I am

pregnant again and my OB said that because I was GBS positive with

my first son that they will automatically treat me for GBS w/o doing

another culture this time around. GBS can be very dangerous...even

causing death or blindness...the doctors should have been more on

top of it.

Thanks again for sharing your story.

Has anyone else had bad experience with neurosurgeons? > I just went

to see Dr. Myseros at Children's hospital in Fairfax, VA and I

cannot believe that this person deals with children on a regular

basis. As soon as he walked into the office I could tell he was

either in a bad mood or was a real jerk, he didn't even know what I

had come in for when he came into the office and then asked me WHY I

was seeing a neurosurgeon for his head shape. He treated me like an

idiot after he asked what my line of work was, to which I

replied " mother " and gave me a huge lecture on why I shouldn't put

my child in a band, but wrote me a prescription anyway. He said I

should just keep him off the flat spot, but he had nothing to

suggest after I told him we had been doing repo for a month and his

measurements got worse.> I have been so angry since I left his

office, I was so thrown off, I didn't even get to ask any of the

questions I wanted to ask. I only went to see him after my ped.

asked me to see a neurosurgeon for a second opinion before banding
