Came to Habersham county medical center ER on 11/1...

Came to Habersham county medical center ER on 11/16/18 for severe stomach pain. I was told I was given a blood test for pregnancy and that it was negative. I was then given several medications and a CT scan. A week (exactly) later I found out I was, in fact, pregnant. I called the hospital that day and spoke to a nurse who told me that everything administered including the scan was all safe for pregnant women. After consulting with my OBGYN, I found out that was a lie. She acted like she wasn t surprised that this had happened and gave me some sort of excuse about If the levels were slightly too low it would show negative. She told me not to worry because I d be spending the next 18+ years worrying anyway. -fast forward to my first OB appointment. I ran this information by my doctor and she informed me that there was no way at that point in my pregnancy that a blood test should have been negative on 11/16/18. I released those records to my OB as well as am taking steps to fight this bill. I told two different people all of the details of this awful experience and still have people from the hospital calling me asking questions like did you have insurance at the time of the visit? (Which I did not.) They are seemingly trying to pass the buck and see if they can just get insurance to pay for their (what I d absolutely call) malpractice. My advice to you? Go to Gainesville!!!!
