I don't think my anything I have ever seen in my 10 + years in heath care could possibly compare. not even my 3 years on the ambulance and the truma I have seen. It was awful
This was my first manual extraction. the patient had been with us for 4 days for PIH. she was in her early 20's and sweet as can be. she did have a low pain tolerance but managed to deliver a butaful 8.9 baby boy without pain meds (as she had hoped). Atfter the other nurse handed her the baby she looked at me and said "I did it DayRay I did it" my heart melted I was so proud of her.
I had stoped her pit and was waiting for the placenta so I could turn it back on. I waited and waited ..we waited 35 minutes and it never seperated. I recived orders for demerol and versed. set up the pulse ox and put her on a littel o2, pushed the demeral and then the versed.
I knew it was painful but never had any idea how bad it could be. I had to hold her down while she cried and screemed and begged us to stop. I have never felt so terrible It was like watching her being raped. when the doctor got the placenta out I went into the hall where I saw her mother and husband they were crying. I huged them and told them she wouldent remember the pain . they just looked at me.
