Ableist doctor. sShe refused to treat my pregnancy until 2015 because I was disabled and refused her offer for an abortion. It made my second pregnancy a terrible stress.

She was the on call ob and delivered my son 5 years ago. I came into the hospital when he was just about to come out. She came and delivered him and when it was time to deliver the placenta she started pulling on it. I screamed for someone to take my baby off my chest because I was in so much pain. My placenta was still attached and she ended up pulling my uterus along with it. I was in the icu for a week with a ventilator and several blood transfusions because she was impatient. Thankfully we all survived and I was able to have another baby after what she had done. I would NEVER recommend her to anybody, I don’t think she should be in the medical field at all

When a doctor prescribes a drug you know and have told you are allergic to, something is not right at all.
