[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it happened TWICE today then obviously the common denominator is the idiot performing the test.  He/she is clearly hitting the wrong nerve in patients!  I had a pretty intense reaction to the uterine scraping and they said it was because of the nerve they hit, but the HSG is much less invasive--I've had 2 and a saline sonogram with no pain.

I'm sorry you had to go through that and I hope they fire or at least retrain whoever did your procedure.

Sorry, but no.  Everyone and anyone can have a seizure given the right (or shall I say wrong) threshhold.  It's like having a headache or a heart attack.  You can't blame the tester.  Pushed past that threshhold, a seizure WILL result.  The fact that it happened to two people is mere coincidence.

Do you blame the road when two people have an accident the same day?[/quote]

First of all, if accidents happened often on the same road, yes, I would wonder if it wasn't the road conditions that day or the engineering of the road.

And since I've never heard of anyone seizing during an HSG, and the same person caused it twice in the same day, there was something wrong with the person doing it.  He/she was the common denominator for a very rare experience happening twice in the same day, same place.

If it were a normal or common reaction to an HSG, it would be different, but it's not.  There is no reason they need to even come close to that nerve during an HSG.

Doctors are far from perfect, particularly in the fertility field, and I would say, especially in the fertility field.  Incompetence always has an excuse--bad eggs, bad sperm, in this case, the poor patient is blaming HERSELF for a seizure because she was nervous?  Who isn't when in stirrups and having dye injected through your uterus, waiting to be told if your tubes are any good?

No, the bozo doing it made a mistake, hit a nerve, and caused the seizure.[/quote]
