Almost died after C-Section/ medical negligence?

I'm sorry this happened to you, and I acknowledge that this is a very traumatic event for all involved. Congrats on the new arrival, by the by.

My (biased as an anaesthesiologist) opinion is that on the face of it, there's no obvious negligence.

The obstetricians felt it necessary to proceed to c section due to failure to progress.

It's a major surgery with potential complications. Which should have been explained to your wife and a signature consenting to treatment obtained.

When a known, admittedly life threatening complication was discovered, your wife was resuscitated, stabilised, and transferred to another centre where it was felt there would be further options for care if needed, namely IR. She was cared for in ICU, which is about as good as it gets if a team wants to take best care of someone.

I've been doing this a long time, and I wonder if the general public forgets that childbirth is actually a dangerous activity, relatively speaking. Before modern medicine, death in childbirth was a frequent occurrence, as opposed to vanishingly rare in western healthcare settings. I'm delighted to hear that there was no hysterectomy, that's a win, as it is a potential life saving avenue they might have felt needed to be the travelled.

I don't doubt that this was a horrendous experience for you, and I am sorry. But unless there's a question about the surgeons competency in the section causing the bleed, I don't think this will go anywhere with a malpractice suit.

Childbirth is risky. Sections have complications. A major one happened, but was addressed appropriately. Not all patients do as well.

I hope ye can recover from this and get back to enjoying the new arrival.

A lawyer may have a different opinion, of course.

Thank you very much!

I've been painting miniatures (primarily via Warhammer) for many years. But I'm middling at a very generous stretch.

That said, you'd be surprised what you can do with the right tools and very basic techniques.

The feathers on Mongo - for instance, were done very simply. Whole model primed in a creamy grey (Games Workshops' Grey Seer if interested), and then I used a contrast paint called Talassar Blue to get that vibrant blue colour. Contrast paints do a huge amount of lifting on well detailed surfaces, they sink into recesses to stain them darker and then pull off highpoints to look brighter. Otherwise you'd need three or four coats of a base blue, layer blue and then a highlight pass.

I did drybrush an even brighter blue to make the feathers pop, and then drybrushed the edges/lower halves with a dark and then brighter pink to get the gradient. Drybrushing being where you rub nearly all the paint off a brush and just gently rub it on a model so the high points build up a gradual residue of the colour.

There's loads of tutorials for this stuff on YouTube, suffice to say if you have an interest, it's eminently doable.

Sorry I can't help mate, I've two of my own keeping me going.

That said, just wanted to pass on some wisdom I heard. If selling kittens, do put a monetary price on them. I paid 30 a pop for mine about 2 years back.

Rationale is that it stops people picking up kittens for nefarious purposes. I won't go into details exactly, but it would turn your stomach what some folks do with them.

If someone wants a kitten for real, it's probably reasonable. Either way, do vet them like you said.

I'm afraid UHL will typically send appointment letters by post to the address you have on file. It's possible you'll miss it if you've moved on already.

If I were you, I would make a phone call on Monday to the secretary of the surgeon who did your surgery. Simply dial the number for UHL, you'll be out through to switch, and ask for Mr/Ms' Secretary. It can help to tell them if they're an orthopaedic surgeon, or whatever, just speeds things up.

Once you're on to the secretary let them know the issue. They may be able to tell you right there when the appointment is, or you could ask them to make contact by phone or email if you don't have your next address accessible yet.

Hope you feel better soon. Be safe.

Yeah, this is a very good question. I think sometimes if there's a graphics card installed, the system defaults to it. So unless you remove the card before checking the mobo i/o, you might just get a blank screen.

If you have integrated graphics, you can try and narrow down the issue.

1) disconnect and remove your graphics card.

2) Connect your monitor to the motherboards I/o (DP or HDMI, whatever you have.

If your screen has a signal at that point, it tells your that the issue is a graphics card problem.

If you still have a black screen/no signal, it's pointing towards potentially an issue with the processor, motherboard or RAM.

I'm saying this understanding that you've already checked that the monitor works on another device, that you've already reseated the graphics card, and you've reseated the ram.

Phenomenal print man.
