Waited 10 hours to be induced in labor & delivery ...

Waited 10 hours to be induced in labor & delivery waiting room (39 weeks & 5 days), several people were taken ahead of me,n finally after speaking to a nurse supervisor, I was placed in the recovery room. THere a P.A. MICHAELA told me she was going to see how dialated I was, then without warning, intentionally broke my mucus plug. I screamed in pain, "STOP, STOP!! YOU'RE HURTING ME!!" SEVERAL TIMES. She was REMORSELESS & without letting up or lightening her grip, told me "birth hurts". Her & a female Asian doctor, who's name I forget; bullied me into having a induction, telling me my baby will be stillborn & will die in my sleep, I won't even know, that he likely had the cord around his neck, even though they had just performed an ultrasound a couple minutes earlier. I had no preclampsia, diabetes, or fetal complications; that supported having an induction; A procedure which if performed too soon, unnecessarily or incorrectly, can cause fetal death, uterus rupture, oxygen deprivation, cerebral palsy, N-ICU stays, etc. The exam "MICHAELA" gave me, was so rough
I felt like a cow being sent to slaughter. I signed out AMA & was given a stack of paperwork I suspect was delayed consent for a membrane stripping, that I didn't ok, but I was too exhausted to read it.(I wasn't given a copy) when I got home I was in a TON of pain, w/bad cramping, SEVERE bleeding, & backaches, that lasted for weeks. I never had these symptoms during my pregnancy before this occurred. Days later NY PRESBY. gyno kept pressuring me into having the induction, listing completely different reasoning then the others did, & throwing in the occasional "but it's your choice". When I declined yet again, & continued my appts for sonograms, Dr razavi LITERALLY made the ultrasound tech walk me into triage to induce that day! I told her I didn t need to be accompanied nor did I want to induce, she DGAF.
I walked in, then got the hell out of there when the tech left. The more forceful they got, the more apprehensive I felt. I just had a BAD FEELING, but no where to go at that point. After every sonogram I was practically stalked by the head of MFM, Dr. Skupski; (who I later found out was being sued by a colleague for sexual assault google it; but wasn't suspended.) He Tried to get me to induce,& also cited different reasons then the previous doctors & nurses. He went on to tell me several times how they don't make anyone induce, they're don't make money off it bla bla. I saw a family friend who's an OB, I was told all was great & there was NO REASON to induce, & doing so would likely cause further interventions(C-section) long hospital stay(ka-ching $$)etc. I then found out there's a TON of pending & recently settled lawsuits (even A-rod is suing them!) many for labor & delivery. Including a woman who was inducted by my NY PRES Doctor. He caused her son brain damage & deprived him of oxygen giving him lifelong cerebral palsy! A lawsuit she won. After a final opinion from a 3rd gyno, I was told yet again everything was fine & not to let myself be bullied. I gave birth at LIJ, to a healthy 8 lb 8 oz boy; no induction or c-section needed. It was a WONDERFUL experience. The doctors from NY PRESBY continued to call my husband & harass me about induction DAILY, until I told them I had our son. 4 months later, I received all kinds of medical bills from NY PRESBY, with BS insurance claims; saying I had appts w/skupski when he was literally stalking me. When I had ultrasound appts he would just randomly show up in the room to push me to induce. They said I was in the ER, I NEVER was. They make you check-in the ER for induction, before you go immediately up to labor & delivery where you actually wait, to suck more money out of your insurance. The whole thing is ridiculous. I'm going to drop the dime to my insurance, if they don't remove the BS claim. Go to LIJ, Winthrop, NYU, mt. Sinai, ANYWHERE BUT NY PRESBYTERIAN!!!! I Wouldn't send my worst enemy here. They DGAF about you, just your insurance
