[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To me, the really horrifying part of the article was that this woman's husband was a doctor, who noticed symptoms, checked with an outside expert, and begged for it to be taken seriously as her condition worsened...and her OB just stalled and insisted he couldn't be wrong until it was far too late. You couldn't ask for much better patient advocacy but it didn't help a bit. What does it say about medicine when even a nurse married to a doctor who tried to get proper treatment , both working at that hospital, is fatally ignored?[/quote]

i still thinking about this woman and i think that the fact that both the mother and her husband knew the doctor privately (she worked with him; the husband also worked with him at some point prior) may have decreased their ability to advocate on their behalf. they certainly had the knowledge and knew people, but i think it might have hampered their ability to pressure him, and also, i think the doctor was more defensive and wanted to appear in control in front of his friends.[/quote]
