Re: law suits

[Guest guest]

a,

Hi, I too am from UK - London - where are you from?

Just briefly, I have just started proceedings - still at the very early stages

and we're not sure if we will be suing for the retained placenta or the two

agressive D & Cs. My solicitor said it will probably take at least 3 years for the

case to end.....My advice would be to talk to solicitor who specialises in

medical negligence and they will be able to specifically look at and respond to

your individual case - the first consultation should always be given free of

charge.

I agree there isn't an awful lost of info about AS in the UK - hence my decision

to see Dr Gallinat in Germany for a hyst last week - fingers crossed - it seems

it all went well. What's your current situation?

Please let me know if there's anything else I can help you with.

Louiza

Hi a,

Louiza is suing at the moment and I am about to follow in her footsteps so

obviously the solicitor believes we have a case.

Where are you?

Have you now had successful surgery?

Louiza,

Thanks for your e-mail. I too live in London - I'm near Richmond in West London. I have been seeing Professor Sutton in Guildford for the past three years - he diagnosed me when I had a laparoscopy for endometriosis 12 months after the damaging D and C. Could you let me know the name of your solicitor as I have no idea where to begin proceedings. Where did you have the D and C? Was it at the same hospital you had retained products? I was at Kingston for the birth of my only child which is where I ended up with retained products - this was only discovered two weeks after the delivery once I had insisted something was wrong and I had already had an infection by this stage.

I then went privately for the D and C and almost had to have a blood transfusion because the blood loss was so severe. I knew nothing about D and Cs and hence didn't consider there to be anything out of the ordinary.

I continued seeing the consultant who had performed the D and C until he sent me to Prof.Sutton who has been excellent. The D and C consultant never admitted there could be a problem and told me I was having no periods as I was breast feeding. My lower uterus has now been cleared of scars but the upper part is still badly damaged - this was only discovered yesterday during a hystersalpingogram.

Have you found any UK doctors who have offered advice? Have doctors generally told you the condition was just bad luck? Is there a time limit on beginning legal proceedings as I have now had the condition four years? I think I would sue the consultant who did the D and C if I could as I know retained products are extremely common and am not sure I would get very far with this.

Sorry my original reply was cut short - my computer did something very strange and decided to send it early!!

Very best wishes,

a

a,

My solicitors details are

Irwin

150 Holborn

London

EC1N 2NS

Tel 0

My solicitor is called Nina Leigh - I would suggest you ask for her when you

call the switchboard above.

I had my baby at Barnet hospital (c-section - hence suing for retained placenta)

and the two subsequent D & Cs (9 weeks later - septacaemia etc) also at Barnet.

I had my first hyst (privately) in UK with Mr Edmonds last October and as I said

went to Dr Gallinat (A list Dr) in Germany last week as all the scar tissue had

returned.

I believe there is a time period of 3 years - but I think this is from when you

discovered you had the problem - not entirely sure though you would have to

clarify this.

Please note that the HSG you had would only allow the dye to go as far as the

next piece of scar tissue. What I'm trying to say is that you could just have

one piece going across your uterus that would make it seem as if the whole of

the top of your uterus is obscurred by scar tissue. As in my scenario, this

might not be the case. When Dr G did my op last week, he actually found that the

top of my uterus was completely clear and scar free. Just food for

thought........

Good Luck

Louiza

Hi a,

Yes I am in North London.

I do hope to use the same solicitor so fingers crossed.

Are you planning on continuing your treatment in the uk?

[Guest guest]

Hello Lesia

I am going to continue treatment in U.K. with Prof. Sutton in Guildford. He seems to know what he is doing but I'm waiting for his response to my last HSG to see whether there is anything more he can do for me. I don't think he sees many cases of AS but I think he is one of the best gynaecologists in U.K.

Who have you been seeing? Have you been in touch with many UK sufferers? Where are they having treatment and do you know any success stories with regards to pregnancies?

Best wishes,

a

Hi a,

I am a fairly new member, but someone correct if I'm wrong seem to have seen

a sudden growth in uk members.

I like so many of the uk members have given up on the NHS and am (thanks to

Corinna) arranging to go to Germany.

I believe Dr Galinatt has his share off success stories, but our German

diplomat and saviour would no doubt be able to give you more details.

If you loose faith....

Love

Lesia
