I miscarried at in the emergency room lobby at Abbott Northwestern Hospital, because the medical staff said they did not have room for me when I first arrived. When I first arrived I said I was 13 weeks pregnant, bleeding with severe abdominal pains that were unbearable. They said it's probably a bladder infection and made me wait for 2-3 hours while I was screaming in excruciating pain until they finally gave me pain meds (which did not relieve the pain) and did a pelvic exam. When they did the pelvic exam they saw that the fetus was stuck in the vaginal wall, which is why I was in such terrible pain (I thought I was dying). I might as well been in a third world country or out in a field and received the same courtesy and care as I did at Abbott Northwestern Hospital during my miscarriage on September 28th -29th, 2012. I am very disappointed and hurt by the medical staff for ignoring my pain and condition, which made my experience there much more horrific than it needed to be.
