Dr. Smith performed the version to turn my breech baby which caused a very traumatic surgery. she advised us of risks but that none of her versions had resulted in surgery.did not say how painful.after it failed she reviewed the fetal monitor&decided i couldnt leave, had to stay for surgery b/c the baby had some heart decelerations but was ok now.told her my toddler had climbed over me&the monitor moved a great deal, so the readout may not be accurate.I had to stay but no not an emergency. Anxiety, starvation, dehydration, sobbing, trembling in fear, but least we were going home for an hour to pack.no she came back&reviewed it again,I couldn’t go but still not an emergency.pressured me into consent after she spoke to husband outside&he came back in worse emotional state than I.Disappeared for hours&had “emergency” surgery at 1145pm after present almost 12 hours.Worst experience of my life but entire OR was casual attitude.Wanted to see her after but requests ignored,never saw her again
