So, yeah, like today is quite possibly the one of the worst days in my whole life, and the worst day in my sisters. Some of you may or may not know that my sister has been pretty sick since November. Well, today we finally know of the reason for that illness, and it's worse then the illness itself. Since November, my sister has seen fifteen different doctors, and has been in the emergency room at least 23 times. At first they thought it was pneumonia or a virus or her pancreas acting up. She has diabetes because of a missed diagnosis and sometimes her pancreas can flair up.

These were all masking things. Last night, at 2:30, my sister when to the emergency room, after having been peeing for an hour. She was in there for four hours, and then they sent her home where she gave birth to a dead baby. Yes, my sister EJ who has wanted a baby since she was born, gave birth to a dead baby in our bathroom. The baby was 30 weeks old, and no one suspected that she was pregnant or gave her a simple blood test to see. SHE WAS IN LABOR IN THE ER FOR FOUR HOURS AND IF SOMEONE HAD TOUCHED HER THEY WOULD HAVE FOUND OUT SHE WAS PREGNANT BUT NO ONE DID. WTF IS WRONG WITH MEDICAL SOCIETY. I'm so angry and upset I don't know what to do. EJ's going to try and kill herself now, and I'm so worried she's going to succeed. I don't know dude. I really don't. I am JUST SO ANGRY.

Oh sweetie, I am so sorry for you and your sister. That is so horrible. If there is anything I can do for you, please call me.

If you guys can sue, you should. Because that is like...so unreal and fucked up. Like it makes me sick to think about how fucking horrible and stupid that is, that she was in the fucking ER of all places, and no one thought to fucking FEEL HER STOMACH.

I'm so sorry this happened. I'll be thinking of you, EJ, and your family.

oh my god, that's horrific. i had a long, drawn-out near-death experience because of my primary care doctor that resulted in me weighing 75 lbs (because of neglect and not figuring out a fairly common chronic illness that can be treated), and i swear, for about a year after i was released from the hospital, i was homicidal. i wanted to kill not only this doctor, but the rest of his family as well. i know how irrational that sounds, but shit like this just makes you crazy, and i'm at a loss of what to say. nothing can make this better. just know that i am thinking about EJ and your family.
