My pubic bone (specifically my pubic symphysis) and sacroiliac joints both ruptured during childbirth. My doctor told the nurses to push on my legs, which they were doing when I heard a loud pop in my pubic area that caused a lot of pain. They say it will take some time to recover from this tear. Is a ruptured pubic symphysis during childbirth the doctor's fault?
A: A ruptured or torn pubic symphysis or sacroiliac join is often the result of medical negligence. This type of medical malpractice injury most often occurs in conjunction with shoulder dystocia deliveries. When a baby's shoulder is stuck in the birth canal, doctors and midwives often put the mother through a series of different positions to help free the baby.
If the doctor or midwife gives incorrect instructions, fails to properly supervise the positions or if the doctor or midwife puts the mother into an incorrect position herself, then injury to the mother can occur. If you or a loved one have suffered this injury, you might not need a Florida medical malpractice lawyer, but before you talk to the insurance adjuster, sign any forms or hire a lawyer, get the free books available at this website.

- My wife died from a pulmonary embolism ten days after give birth to our child by c-section. We told her doctors and nurses at follow-up appointments about her leg swelling. We called her Ob/Gyn two days before that but he never returned our call.
Her doctors and nurses knew my wife was at risk for pulmonary embolism and that she was overweight. No one examined anything but her swollen ankles at the follow-up appointment. They didn't run tests on her heart, lungs or chest. They didn't check her pedal pulse like I read they should do. This has got to be medical malpractice, right?
- My right lateral femoral cutaneous nerve was damaged during my hysterectomy. I am experiencing much pain now and it's so difficult to walk that I can't work in my sales position any more. My follow up exams found that my nerve is not severed. However, my EMG was quite abnormal. Is this the surgeon's fault?
