Woman miscarries after being ignored by hospital


A PREGNANT woman suffered a miscarriage in a toilet after she was ignored by medical staff at Sydney's Royal North Shore Hospital, it has been claimed.

Despite complaining of acute pain, the 32-year-old woman was not seen by a doctor or given painkillers at the hospital overnight.

The woman's husband complained to emergency staff about the pain his wife was experiencing, but was repeatedly told to sit back down and wait, the report said.

The woman's husband, identified as Mark, told Macquarie Radio his wife, Jana, had already had one miscarriage this year.

He said Jana went to the hospital about 6.30pm Tuesday because she was experiencing similar symptoms to when she had the earlier miscarriage.

Mark said that after Jana had been waiting more than an hour at the hospital, he was told by a triage nurse there was nothing they could do, and they should just wait in the queue.

"In the course of our waiting, she's ended up on the floor in a squatting position .. with her hands wrapped around her legs ... directly in view of the administration section of the emergency ward.

"She's grimacing in pain and nothing's being done."

Jana then went to the toilet and stayed there for a while, he said.

"Next minute, I just hear a scream and a smash, and I jumped up, and I raced into the toilet, and ... I just couldn't believe the scene in front of me.

"It is my wife ... sitting on the toilet, screaming ... an image in my mind I'll never be able to get out, the look on her face, screaming, tears, hysterical, pants around the ankles ... holding a live, live mind you, live foetus in her hands ... with blood everywhere."

The man's cousin, identified only as Peter, told Macquarie Radio the treatment they received was disgraceful.

"When we weren't looking she walked off into the toilet and had a miscarriage," he said.

"People have come running (from) everywhere.

"I can't go into the finer details, it's just so gruesome, mate.

"It's just something I wouldn't say on air.

"She's holding the little foetus in her hand, basically, and was wheeled out of the toilet in front of this packed waiting room.

"Not only that, but once they found her a bed they left her lying with the foetus between her legs for one hour."

NSW Health Minister Reba Meagher today launched a full external inquiry into the situation, saying it was "completely unacceptable by any measure" and expressed her sympathy to the woman and her family.

"There is no question that the circumstances of this case are unacceptable," she told Macquarie Radio.

"That is why I want an external inquiry, I think there are issues here, we need to get to the bottom of them."

Ms Meagher said senior staff were meeting with the woman to discuss what occurred.

The minister said she would also be happy to talk with the woman and her family.


------------

THE husband of a woman who miscarried in a toilet while awaiting assessment at a Sydney hospital has likened her treatment to that of a Third World country.


Jana Horska attended the Royal North Shore Hospital about 7.15pm (AEST) yesterday in acute pain.

The 32-year-old woman was 14 weeks pregnant and deeply concerned, feeling symptoms similar to those she encountered when she last miscarried back in March.

Her husband Mark Dreyer said his wife was made to wait for about two hours, at one stage ending up on the floor in a squatting position with her hands wrapped around her legs.

He said his wife also began spotting on the floor.

Mr Dreyer said she then got up and went to the toilet, and he went to check on her after she had been gone a while.

"Here's my wife sitting on a toilet, screaming with a look on her face I'll never get out of my mind, holding a live foetus between her legs with blood everywhere," he said outside the hospital.

He said the hospital staff were then more than willing to come to his wife's aid, but she still had to wait another hour before she could be cleaned up.

Mr Dreyer said he blamed both staff and the NSW health service for providing no "care and comfort".

"We are realists, we know nature's nature, you can't stop a miscarriage if there is going to be a miscarriage.

"But at least we should have been taken in," Mr Dreyer said.

"I reckon we would have got better care in a third world country.

"My wife is from Slovakia, it's a relatively poor place, communist country, and it would never happen there. Their system completely leaves our system for dead.

"I do not want this to happen to anyone else, no one should go through this, not in Australia."

'Disgraceful' treatment

Mr Dreyer's cousin, identified only as Peter, said on Macquarie Radio that the treatment they received was disgraceful.

"When we weren't looking she walked off into the toilet and had a miscarriage," he said.

"People have come running (from) everywhere.

"I can't go into the finer details, it's just so gruesome, mate. It's just something I wouldn't say on air.

"She's holding the little fetus in her hand, basically, and was wheeled out of the toilet in front of this packed waiting room.

"Not only that, but once they found her a bed they left her lying with the fetus between her legs for one hour."

Inquiry

NSW Health Minister Reba Meagher said an external inquiry would be launched into the incident.

Ms Meagher said it was "completely unacceptable by any measure" and expressed her sympathy to the woman and her family.

"There is no question that the circumstances of this case are unacceptable," she said on Macquarie Radio.

"That is why I want an external inquiry, I think there are issues here, we need to get to the bottom of them."

Ms Meagher said senior staff were meeting the woman to discuss what occurred.

Premier Morris Iemma said the incident was "of deep concern" and reiterated that it would be the subject of an inquiry.

"The circumstances of the mother's treatment and assessment, and why this has occurred will be the subject of a full external investigation," he said.

But Opposition Leader Barry O'Farrell said there were systemic problems at the hospital due to resource and budget constraints and a single inquiry would be insufficient.

A review "into a single incident will not reassure families that Royal North Shore Hospital is safe," Mr O'Farrell said.

"Morris Iemma and Reba Meagher must find the backbone to order a full, open and independent inquiry into Royal North Shore Hospital."

Opposition health spokeswoman Jillian Skinner said a public inquiry like that carried out at Camden and Campbelltown hospitals was needed.

"An inquiry that is open to the public and the media is the only way systemic problems at ... the hospital will be exposed and actions taken to deliver solutions."

THE fact that a woman miscarried in a toilet at Sydney's Royal North Shore Hospital (RNSH) is no surprise in such an overcrowded and overstretched emergency department, says one of the hospital's senior doctors.

Tony Joseph, director of trauma at RNSH, said the same could happen "in any emergency department in this city, in this state and in this country".

Dr Joseph, who is also chairman of the NSW Faculty of the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine, said there were simply no beds available for Jana Horska on Tuesday night when she went to the hospital.

After two hours waiting for medical attention, Ms Horska, who was 14 weeks pregnant, miscarried in the hospital's emergency department toilets.

"I feel extreme sympathy for the lady ... and I apologise on behalf of the health system for what has occurred but for us working in emergency it's actually not surprising that this would happen," Dr Joseph said on ABC radio.

"We know that we're working overstretched and overcrowded emergency departments. We've been telling governments of various levels of this problem for a number of years and we don't see much solution for it."

Dr Joseph said Ms Horska could not have been examined or medicated without a bed.

"The day she came in there were 47 patients in the department, 16 of those patients were admitted waiting for a bed and over half of those who were admitted were waiting more than eight hours," Dr Joseph said.

"So there was no physical place to actually put this lady and this could happen in any emergency department in this city, in this state and in this country."

Dr Joseph called on the Government to provide more hospital beds and welcomed the introduction of a proposed system where all facilities come under federal government jurisdiction.

"If you're running a hospital at 95 per cent or above occupancy rate there is no stretch within the system to cope for the daily surges," Dr Joseph said.

"You need to decrease the bed occupancy and increase the bed base so occupancy is around 85 per cent. We know that at that level then hospitals will function efficiently.

"Public health is not a profitable business - people don't choose to get sick, they don't choose to have accidents - you can estimate what it's going to cost but we're actually not spending enough on it to actually deliver the care that people expect."

Dr Joseph said staff at the hospital's emergency department did the best they could with the resources available.

Howard quiet on toilet miscarriage case


PRIME Minister John Howard today refused to comment on claims one of Sydney's biggest hospitals ignored a woman who then miscarried.

Mr Howard said he had heard an investigation was underway into reports that a 32-year-old woman had miscarried in the toilet of Royal North Shore Hospital, but would not pre-judge any inquiry.

Mark Dreyer says his wife Jana Horska had waited for two hours to be seen when she miscarried while sitting on a toilet about 7.15pm (AEST) yesterday.

He said that when he went to the toilet to see if she was okay he found her screaming and holding a live foetus between her legs.

Mr Howard said he could not make a decision on a hospital over just one incident.

"I don't think on the basis of one incident, even if it is completely the fault of the hospital, I just don't know the circumstances," Mr Howard said.

"You can't make a decision to take over a hospital on the basis of one incident, it is not good public policy."

Mr Howard said he knew of many people who had been treated at Royal North Shore and spoke highly of the hospital.

But Mr Howard used the opportunity to attack Opposition Leader Kevin Rudd as hypocritical and without policy regarding Mersey Hospital in Tasmania.

"Mr Rudd said it was a piece of opportunistic cherry picking, he attacked it, he condemned it, he said it was wrong and there was no way the Labor Party was going to do it, but now he says he supports it," he said.

"And what this indicates to me is Mr Rudd has no policy compass of his own.

"He's just copied us.

"He has never really staked his ground that: 'This is the Australia I believe in'.

"He never does that. He just neatly agrees with us, or he does what the union says.

"Now that suggests to me in government that he would be a weak prime minister."

呵呵，
我lp从怀孕检查到出生，一直在这家医院。感觉很好啊。

好可怕啊,简直用震惊形容!
那个女的的经历太惨了,从身到心!!!!

我听广播，好像是说因为20周之前是当作胚胎，所以不重视；20周之后才当成婴儿，才送到产房。

怀孕生产，无论从身体还是精神上来说，都是女人的一次特殊历程。绝对应该给予最大的关怀和照顾。

现在他们是出政策了，说只要再有孕妇来，无论怎样都要马上送到产房。

如果在RNSH做18周的产检照B超有送光盘么？
真得很矛盾，我发现怀孕的时候还没有买私保，所以就准备去公立医院了，听很多朋友的推荐才book了这家医院，下个月中旬才去做产检，现在看到这种新闻，震惊到极致哦， 如果让我等超过1小时以上没有人理我的话，那我宁愿自己多花钱到对面的north shore private去了，太可怕，居然会这样枉顾病人和小孩的性命哦。报道说，RNSH的产科目前至少短缺100名护士和MIDWIFE。发生这件事后，会不会政府给医院多拨点经费来聘请足够医护人员阿。
