Dr. Douglas Marshall Fetterman, MD

Dr. Fetterman was the anesthesiologist for my wife's miscarriage delivery. He started off poorly, showing up and not speaking hardly a word, other than 'turn over', 'you're going to feel something', and such. Although we both noticed it, it didn't really bother us, as he was gone in just a few minutes. However, in that short time, he managed to overdose my wife, paralyzing her up to the neck. When she was going numb in the chest, the attending nurses were alarmed, and they had to go find him in the break room, and by the time he arrived, my wife was unable to move anything below her neck, and her jaw was becoming tingly. He administered a strong medicine to counteract the effect, and my wife ended up delivering with virtually no anesthesia. The following day, my wife ended up in the E.R. at St. Joseph's, the same hospital, due to the excruciating pain in her spine, and ended up having to get a blood-patch to treat it. It took almost three months before the effects had subsided. … Even though the attending nurses confirmed that this should have never happened, and was preventable (He didn't even ask my wife her weight), he never even apologized. Nightmare through and through.
