[quote=Anonymous] MAKE SURE TO LOCATE THE EMERGENCY BUTTON IN THE HOSPITAL ROOM. I passed out from blood loss while holding my newborn at Shady Grove. I had refused the heparin lock for my natural childbirth, which had gone really well until that point. The nurses were nowhere to be seen. My husband looked around for the red emergency button, it was nowhere to be seen (and later turned up inside one of the drawers). He ran out in the corridor, no nurses. He started hollering for help, someone came running, and because of my blood loss, had difficulty inserting the needle for the IV. Apparently there was a stressful moment there. The doctor recommended a blood transfusion when I came to. DO NOT REFUSE THE HEPARIN LOCK. [/quote]
