Right! From the tone of your post it seems that I'm also involved in
this conspiracy. Like I said earlier, you don't fool me.

I don't care to fool anybody.  I am just trying to tell the truth.

Really?

What's this then: "THEPATIENTWHOREFUSEDTODIE" ???????????????

Good grief.  Are you always such a drama queen or do you actually believe
that medical staff were  out there trying to murder apatient(you)?

You're reading it and posting responses so I guess the title, THE
PATIENT WHO REFUSED TO DIE, serves it purpose. I was a bit shocked
myself when I first read the title :) My friend suggested it.

I don't think I am a drama queen. I have been accused of having a
huge personality but I don't think I am a true drama queen. I guess
you would have to explain what you mean by drama queen. If you mean
do I make false,
outrageous claims just to get attention...No. If you mean do I
express myself boldly...yes. I have already stated somewhere in this
newgroup that I am not shy. I am outgoing and assertive and not
easily intimidated. I can be a bloody obnoxious cow but my friends
know where I stand and know I would go to the wall to stand up for
what is right. I am not bragging or complaining; I am just stating a
fact. God gave me the personality that I have. With every passing
day I am stronger in my belief that my purpose in life is to endure
what I have endured and live to tell about it. That may sound like
drama queen talk to you but I truly believe it. My heart was broken
when I had to learn how evil people could be. I was so naive. It
took many savvy, hardened individuals whom deal with crime every day
to tell me over and over to wake up and quit being such a pollyanna.
I was dealing with my medical nightmare and being bombarded with
information on human nature that I could not compute. One lecture I
repeatedly got was so sad to me; I will paraphrase it: You are a
good person and you believe others are as good as you. There are evil
people. There are people without a conscience. Quit being so naive.
You have to realize this. My heart broke the day I finally admitted
that truly evil people exist. I was pissed that I had to learn that
lesson; I remember thinking that I could have happily lived my whole
life without knowing that. I was told by a man involved in my story,
"You have more intestinal fortitude then we have ever seen in a
women...and rarely see in a man." It cannot help fighting for the
truth and I am not trying to hurt anybody by doing so. I don't want
revenge. I just want the truth. The fact that I have been told that
medical records can't be amended once lies are written in them does
not deter me from trying to amend mine. The fact that I have been
told that nobody will believe me because I am a nobody and doctors are
the end-all in authority does not deter me. The fact that I have been
told that my name will be dragged through the mud does not deter me.
The fact that I have been threatened does not deter me. I was bullied
by some of the top research doctors in the country. These guys are
famous in their fields. Some of them wrote the book. I don't give a
rat's ass about what they have written in my records or in my son's
records. As my dad, Wayne D. Halvarson, used to say, "I will show you
where the bear *** in the buckwheat."

Do I truly believe anybody will listen to me? Not my problem. My
only goal is to tell my whole story. That is it. I want my story to
exist even when I am gone. I want my kids to know that I fought for
the truth. I hope to inspire others to fight for the truth. I refuse
to give my power away. I can't just crawl in a shell and exist; I
tried. I HAVE to tell my story. Is that so hard to understand? If
not a single soul on the planet believes my story when it is
completely told...oh well. I can rest knowing I did my part.

Do I HOPE that I have an active life again? Yes. Do I hope my son's
brain injuries will be cured? Yes. Do I understand that I probably
will need a winning lawsuit to afford the cures we need? Yes. Is a
lawsuit something I want to be involved in? Not no, but HELL NO. I
find law just as creepy as allopathic medicine. It seems to have
little to do with truth. Of course that is just my observation.




I had perfect prenatal checkups performed by a licensed midwife. I
had to have MORE testing than usual because of my age. I also had
MORE testing than usual because routine midwifery prenatal care
requires more tests than OB/GYN routine care as far as I was told. .

Extra monitoring is usually indicated when one is concerned about the
placental position. Plus, advanced maternal age predisposes one to
abnormal placental positioning. But I'm sure you know all this.

I had the ONE sonogram that is part of a NORMAL pregancy no matter if
a woman decides to have an OB or a midwife.  I was not scheduled for
any more sonograms because it showed I had a healthy, active perfectly
formed son whom's placenta was attached at the TOP of my uterus.  It
was perfect therefore I was told I would NOT need another one.  I have
the report and the pictures.
I
had a sonogram showing my son's perfect body with the placenta
attached at the top of my uterus. My next prenatal appointment was
to
be May 28th when I was to receive a rhogam shot, (I am O negative
blood type) along with regular measurements. I was supposed to get
the shot on May 20th when I was there for my regular prenatal class
but
the midwife was running behind and suggested I come back the
following week.

How many sonograms did you have in total. Did you miss any of the
scheduled ones with the midwife?

SEE ANSWER ABOVE.  I had ONE.  There were no more scheduled because it
was normal.  I was told my age was NO concern because my health was
better than some women in their 20's.

But being healthy doesn't mean one should be building fences and mixing
concrete on a hot sunny day,  especially when 27 weeks pregnant.   It is not
advisable.

I have already answered this. I said that I was helping but not in a
heavy, physical way. I was holding the hose to water the cement mix.
I was mixing bits with a hoe. It appears my previous answer to this
comment has been snipped.

The sonogram I supposedly got at Parkland shows the placenta
attached near the opening of my cervix.
This is all written in the
physician signed document report that I possess, (which just last
month I was told did not not exist.)

So what you're essentially suggesting is that your placenta was not
abnormally lying when you presented at ER, that you were not
bleeding bright red blood, that your water did not break, that an
ultrasound scheduled was cancelled by yourself, and this ghastly
physician knocked-up a bogus report out of thin air?

I had NO RELATIONSHIP WHATSOEVER with Parkland before I got to the ER
on May 25th, 1997.  There was no ultrasound scheduled that I
cancelled.  I did not cancel anything.

Do you have any of this in writing or is it something you picked up over the
phone when you were laughing and talking S-L-O-W-L-Y down to the privacy
officer.  I think you scared the poor woman.  I hope you taped the
conversation you had with her.  It would be interesting to see if she did
indeed state all the things you say she did, within inverted commas

I am pretty sure the poor woman was not scared by me. She told me she
had been working at Parkland for 17 years so I am sure it would take
more than me laughing at the irony of her comments to scare her. She
seemed perturbed, flustered and frustrated but not scared. I doubt
you hope I taped anything.

I requested  my records after I was released from Parkland after being
there for 8 and a half days.  I saw a sonogram report in it.  I
thought it odd because I did not remember getting a sonogram so I went
to radiology to request the film.

Who told you this sonogram, which you apparently had no recollection of,
would be stored on "film"?

I will have to get back with you on this one.

Did the physician tell you to go to radiology and collect it?

You are posting as if you think I was treated with any kind of
dignity. Apparenty I have not successfully expressed the defensive
atmosphere I was involved in. I am not a professional writer and am
trying my best. If you really care to follow my story, you will
answer most of your questions yourself at the end.

I was given the run-around and
finally I was told that no sonogram film exists for me.

What did the physician who did the report have to say about it?  Surely he
would have had recollection of the matter if you had enquired about it 8 and
a half days after you left hospital.  Of course you spoke to him???

You seem confused. I was in the hospital for 8 and a half days. He
is a she. She was not a source of help for me. She works in
Arlington, TX. She would be the person to ask since she is the one
whom signed the sonogram report.

As you say you have no recollection of a sonogram being done, do you
remember all the other tests that were done?

While I was conscious, before being rushed to the operating room,
there was no sonogram done. I would not have been so shocked to see
the sonogram report in my records if I recalled a sonogram being
performed. Is it possible a sonogram was done directly after I was
unconscious? I guess that is possible. I was out of the loop, to say
the least, when it came to knowing what they tested me for. I am sure
they tested the blood they drew from me.

Was any sonogram ever done that you have recollection of at Parkland?

No. The only testing I recall pertaining to my son, before his
emergency delivery was fetal monitoring which the results of were
recited several times when little groups of doctors came into my
room. They would say, "34 year old white female, doesn't drink,
doesn't smoke, fetus not in distess." This happened many
times...maybe as many as 6 times. I finally asked why they sounded
disappointed, "isn't fetus not in distress a good thing?"

I was also
told that the only thing in radiology for me was a chest x-ray.  I
asked to see it and I waited.  I was finally handed an envelope.  I
looked in it.  It was empty.  I told the man it was empty and he said
he did not know where it was.  He suggested it was missing and
possibly a doctor had it.

 Did you ask where the chest x-ray report was?  Did you find out who ordered
this X ray and what for?

Yes, I was told it was probably on a doctors desk but what doctor was
not known. I DID ask who ordered the x-ray and why it was ordered and
was told that one was ordered but it was cancelled. I asked why a
jacket, (envelope) was created for an x-ray that did not exist. I got
some kind of jibberish, unsatisfactory answer to that question. Do
you realize I was asking dozens of questions to dozens of different
individuals in different departments? I was doing this while feeling
like I was mortally injured and trying to hawk over my son in the NICU
and trying to keep my husband from losing his mind and worrying about
my pets and my horses? The only thing that I could do was keep
notes. I thank God for my state-of-mind because it was all those
notes that helped me later to see that all the confusion and
stonewalling was not an error but was an attempt to keep me from the
truth.

How on earth do you account for your symptoms, then?

Based on my own research and recall of my symptoms, I think I probably
had an abruptio or seperation of my placenta from my uterus.  I also
think I was probably bleeding internally from this seperation.  I
don't know this for sure because
I was not diagnosed with an abruptio
nor treated for abruptio.

If you were not diagnosed with an abruptio - nor treated for it - then it is
most likely it wasn't an abruptio!!

You are assuming doctors are honest and/or don't make mistakes. I
believe with all my heart and soul that these assumptions are false.

You wrote "The sonogram I supposedly got at Parkland shows the placenta
attached near the opening of my cervix" .

 IMO, this sentence alone makes it sound very much like a placenta previa
than an abruption.

Yes, I imagine it is intended to sound like that. It is a lie. I am
not medically trained, so I don't have the luxery of proper wording
but here I go with my own words: My son was attached to me via his
umbilical cord to the top of my uterus which is clearly shown and
recorded in the prenatal sonogram I received weeks before my Parkland
Misadventure. This is the most desirable position for a baby to be
attached. The bogus sonogram which Parkland supposedly performed
before I went to the operating room states placenta previa. This is
abnormally low, near the cervix attachment via umbilical cord. The
placenta can't unattach and reattach. It just does not work like
that.

Abruption refers to  placental separation from the uterine wall.  Your
report clearly states placenta "attached" - so clearly no abruption.  In
placenta previa the placenta is implanted low; this is abnormal - but  it
still remains "attached" - causing other problems!

Forget my interpreation of one line of your sonogram report - but why didn't
you go to the hospital with a copy of the sonogram and discuss with the
physician that reported on your scan, instead of doing your "own research"
and speculating on what you think the diagnosis was.  What are you afraid
of, really???????  I find it odd that you did not have any discussion with
the doctors.and had to resort to researching on your own.  I have noticed
that you tend to be rather economical with the truth.  Care to tell what the
physicians really told you?

If you only knew how many doctors and how many times I asked...I also
went to my son's doctors, to the nurses in the maternity ward to every
place I could find a person. I looked at my records several times
while I was in the hospital. I asked questions then. I asked every
brave soul that entered my room questions. I demanded answers. I was
not shy in stating that I was being lied to. I had a large burn on my
lower abdomen. My records state it was 3 centimeters. I have the
photos to show it is MUCH larger than that. I was told,
seriously...this is almost comical, it was an allergic reaction to
tape. I was soon told over the next few hours and days as I pointed
out how each new diagnoses was impossible that it was: An allergy to
iodine, herpes, shingles, possible chemical burn, razor burn from the
prep shave....but, "Whatever it is, it is not a burn." I had no
dressing on this mystery skin ailment. It was about a 3-4 inch
diameter area at the bottom of my abdominal cut which was second to
third degree burn..it also had a streak about 3 inches wide that went
all the way to my hip, (lying on my back) and then ran up towards my
waist and down toward my thigh. I kept saying it felt like a burn. I
finally grabbed somebody's hand and put it several inches from the
mystery ailment and asked if they could feel the heat radiating off my
skin. I told all the doctors and nurses that came in that regardless
of what it was I demanded a proper dressing because I was using brown
paper towels from the bathroom to catch the fluid that was oozing from
the popping blisters and the paper towels were literally dripping wet
when I changed them. I told them that I wanted somebody from
dermatology or wherever to properly dress the wound. I suggested they
could call any veterinarian in town and get a gel pad dressing such as
is used on dogs with road rash from being hit by a car and having
their hide burned off by the asphalt or concrete. I was PISSED. Days
after being there and being told that, "Whatever it is, it is not a
burn." I got a message that derm had sent something for me and it was
at the nurses station. I went to get it and it was a big jar of
Silvadine. Silvadine is indicated for burns. I asked what in the
hell I was supposed to do with it and where is the dressing. They
asked what kind of dressing I wanted. I told them they are the
experts, why do I have to tell them how to dress a wound. I kept
getting promised help with no follow through. I was desperate because
I had to go to the NICU to see my son and when I did the paper towels
leaked through my gown and it was a big mess. I finally put my gown
on where it opened in the front, took my panties off and walked right
out of my room into the area by the nurses station. I threw my gown
open and said that apparently I am crazy and I am the only person here
who can see this. I want proper dressing and I want it now! If I
don't get help NOW I will get in the elevator and go right to the
front door of this hospital and flash my invisible wound there.
Before I go, I will call channel 4, 5, 8 and 11 and tell them my
plan. I am sure there is at least one other totally crazy person in
Dallas who will also see this mess and my hope is they will help me
get a proper dressing. Oh, crap...they scrambled like cockroaches
then. I was pooh-poohed back to my room real quick and promised help
real quick. I finally got some nurses aid to come in. It was
pathetic. I demanded a doctor. This was a whole ordeal. Finally I
got the head of burn to come and tell my how I was burned with
scalding saline blah blah blah...The faschia was already closed when
they irrigated with the the rinse...blah blah blah....we will take
care of it and give you a faschia transplant or plastic surgery in the
future if needed blah blah blah...The whole story is very long. Funny
thing was how the head of burn himself came to change my dressing
himself...even on Saturday. The nurses were stunned by that. "It is
his DAY OFF!" Big deal. I was not impressed. By this time I had
heard so many lies and countered them with facts that I was disgusted.



IMO, any reasonable person would have in the first instance wanted to
discuss with the doctors instead of going and asking for "sonogram films"
and  "x-ray films".  Very odd, don't you think?

No. I discussed until I was disgusted. NOBODY WOULD LISTEN TO ME!





 I just remember how I felt and it fits the
symptoms of abruptio.  I don't think I caused the abruptio.  I know
Parkland did not cause it.  It just know that I had NO signs of
symptoms of pre-eclampsia at any of my check-ups.  My friends and
family even commented on how I had NO swelling in my feet.  One of my
friends even teased me and said, "You're such a bitch...my feet
swelled up as soon as I was pregnant and here you are 5 months
pregnant and not even showing any signs, even your feet look
skinny...you have hardly gained any weight!"  I think I gained about
10 pounds.  I do know that the shirt I wore to Parkland was my first
maternity shirt and it was the first time I wore it.

"Ms. Stanbery, you did not have
a sonogram at Parkland, you were scheduled for one but you
cancelled it."

LIE...SEE ABOVE

I said, "I know I did not have a sonogram...I told ya'll that 11
years ago when I saw the bogus sonogram report in my records. I
asked back then for the sonogram film and was told all I had was a
chest x- ray in radiology.

Hang on, are you saying that you cancelled a sonogram that was
indicated for you? Why would you do something like that?

SEE ABOVE.  I had no relationship with Parkland WHATSOEVER before I
got there on May 25th, 1997 in premature labor.  How could I have
anything scheduled before then?

Well, what date was the scan scheduled for according to them.  Who was the
physician that ordered it; what were the indications for this scan?  Was it
the same physician?  Did you contact that physician?  If not, why?

Hello, are you following along? I never heard anything about this
scheduled scan that I supposedly cancelled until recently. THAT is
why I had to laugh and tell the privacy officer that they were getting
their lies mixed up. I did not ask who ordered the supposed scan or
what the indications were for the scan. Maybe if I had some help I
would have thought to do so. I am not a lawyer or professional
investigator or journalist. I am just a mom whom was injured and lied
to and whom wants proper medical care and a cure for my son's brain
injuries. I don't know how to anticipate what the professional liars
that I deal with in the medical community are going to ask me. I just
keep on plugging along trying to get to the truth in the hopes that
somebody will help me to be cured so I can go on with my life and ride
off into the sunset.



I was handed an empty film jacket and was then told
that the film was missing. I was alarmed when I saw the bogus
sonogram report because it said Barret had no kidneys and I knew he
had kidneys because they were seen on the sonogram ordered and
performed at the midwife clinic. The Parkland "privacy officer"
tried to convince me
once again, (just a month ago) that I did not have a sonogram at
Parkland therefore I have no sonogram report.
I had to laugh...she
was not laughing. I laughed as I told her that she was mixing up her
lies and getting confused. I told her S-L-O-W-L-Y so she could
understand that I have the report of the sonogram which was NOT
performed which she is now saying was never performed due to
cancellation. She once again tried to tell me that I don't have what
I do have...I don't see what I do see. She asked me to bring it to
her, in fact I could mail it to make it easy on me. I just laughed
when she told me to bring it to her or mail it....OK I will get
right
on that....AS IF.

Well, why didn't you send them a copy of the report? Perhaps it had a
reference number etc. on it that
