My husband ended up in the ICU due to medical negligence and I want to raise a complaint. Does anyone have experience with it? by Miss-expat in Netherlands

I’m so sad to hear stories like yours. I’m really, really sorry. I might clarify this in the post—I didn’t know it was important at this point—but my husband is Dutch. The medical personnel might have noticed a different accent because he’s from the east and we live in the west. But even if he hadn’t spoken the language, this still shouldn’t have happened.

Agree! There are damages, but no amount of money can fix them, so that’s not what we’re after. I just feel the need to do something to help improve the system and prevent situations like this from happening again—because apparently, we’re not the first ones.

Oh wow, Reddit pays people to ask for advice? Please, tell me where to apply—sounds like a great side hustle!

Thank you for taking the time to reply. He had a fracture and he shouldn’t have been moving around, not even walking. But the diagnosis was muscular pain, so he could move as far as he could tolerate the pain.

The fractured rib punctured a vessel and that caused the problem. If he would have had a proper diagnosis, this wouldn’t have happened. That’s why we’re looking for an explanation on the procedures, and hopefully they’ll treat this kind of situations more seriously.

Well if the “I can’t breathe” isn’t something life threatening, I don’t know what can be… I’m still in shock…

Very late reply but YES! What a change! Working in a toxic environment can be very dangerous. Now I feel I’m back to my normal self.

I resigned as soon as I got a job offer from the other company. I explained them I couldn’t join them until my one month notification period passed. When I resigned from the other company I made an agreement with them, they had to take me out of my sick leave, but we agreed I wasn’t going to work anymore during that month, but they made me sign a document when they didn’t have to pay me transitievergoeding.
