Steward Health Care System

My name is August Pauliks. I gave birth at Good Samaritan Medical Center on October 28th, 2023.

You guys are requesting over my allotted deductible to be paid to you in a case where I would not even feel comfortable paying the deductible owed. I had a horrendous experience that lasted a week. I started labor the 24th and first went to your hospital the 25th and was admitted the 26th. I was released November 1st.

I have written a detailed account of what took place and would email that over to you. But for now I can tell you this was an absolutely horrendous experience. One that has made me not want to ever give birth again and I always believed kids should have siblings. It affected not only myself and my body but my parents, my family (even extended), my in laws, my significant others and his family.

My son is healthy but I was not. I had to endure days of labor. Some very rude and in my opinion incompetent staff members of yours. Just some stand outs are one nurse who yelled at me while in labor moments before my emergency c-section, an OB doctor who swore at me and called me a wimp, and a nurse on the post-partum side who physically tried to remove me from the toilet without knowing anything about my history or what was going on.

There is more which is included in my full detailed account including the name of that doctor. I had requested my records and there are some inconsistencies. As well as during my c-section I could feel everything, extreme pain until I was knocked out at which time my mother was removed from the room. I woke up and even with my mom immediately expressing concern for my color I was not given blood until the following night.

I had extreme diarrhea. I ended up on magnesium for high blood pressure only for 2 days after my release at my doctors office and had borderline low blood pressure. I was left extremely bruised from the first IV I had placed. It was bad enough that many medical professionals, including some of your own nurses and doctors were actually concerned and quite surprised at how it happened.

I can give you more information. You can call, text, or email me. I can send you my detailed account.

But given what I experienced I do not think I should have to pay on top of enduring that. My next step is to contact a malpractice attorney if we can not have this resolved.

My dad is an extremely delicate health patient, he had a very big heart attack on August 22, 22 and from that moment my father and we the family have had many stumbling blocks with a doctor who even told me on the phone that Im ignorant (there were people from the staff in front hearing everything I answered to the doctor, I never disrespected her, then a nurse gave my dad a medicine called Entresto before the hour and my dad almost got more complicated, now since yesterday We returned to the hospital again and the heart monitor that they put on my dad was put on without batteries, my dad was the one who noticed it, the nurse didn't even bring my dad a blanket to cover himself from the cold, nor did he help him change his clothes, nor change his pamper full of urine, I need to talk to someone from the management because I believe that they are working very poorly in this hospital and they play with the lives of human beings, my name is Yoanka Gonzalez.
